Does anyone else just get burned out by these people?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by GP6971 (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

By “these people” I mean MAGA. This isn’t meant to be a depressing post, I just feel so burned out and angry about these people. It’s going on ten years we have had to deal with shithole and his zombies, I don’t think people take a step back and think about how negatively this has impacted our mental health. I do have Trump Derangement Syndrome, and the only cure will be when he’s moved on to worse place. What an unnecessary nightmare this has all been. We had a chance at two very qualified women bringing people together, and instead we have this hellscape. I think it says a lot about some of our fellow citizens. Some people just suck and always will. That’s the end of my rant, but I felt the need to make it a post.

There's a bumper sticker that says "MEAN PEOPLE SUCK". I think that's meant to acknowledge there's no permanent fix. nt eppur_se_muova Jun 11 #2

And that's why taking time to shut it all off and recharge. It will never be enough time to fully recharge because the shit flies fast from that source but you have to do it periodically.

Just don't give up, we're almost there.

It just feels like it's never going to end. That bastard just won't die. DU is keeping me sane.

That's why I come to the Lounge - to escape all that.



But people drag the shit here. Why?

I wasn’t sure where the appropriate place to post would be. I get what you mean though, so I’m sorry.
