But I honestly don’t think that most people feel the trauma that a lot of us here do from the utter depravity of this administration. I live in one of the most highly educated parts of the country and I am constantly amazed at how little people here know about what’s going on and how little they seem to care.

Personally, I don’t especially care about the price of eggs or even the price of gas; I’m a lot more concerned about the loss of our democracy. I don’t know what it will take to wake people up. But for those of us who have been traumatized by this administration, we are owed some form of mental health reparations.
