You know, we treat our Democratic former presidents

8. The unfortunate truth, IMO,

is that this current "president" has corrupted the entire country. Speaking for myself only, I'd never really known such rage-filled hatred before he came down that escalator. His first term was so hard on me, I ended up blood pressure pills and anti-depressants for the first time in my life. And I still say that all of us on the left are suffering through various stages and depths of PTSD and deserve reparations for the total unnecessity of the whole experience. I thought living through Reagan and Bushes was bad. I only *thought* I knew what bad was. Luckily, I'm still able to talk to my repug neighbor in a cordial fashion, as long as we stay away from politics, arts, humanities, or anything else of importance. And I've reached out to help others when I see the need. I've paid forward medical copays and grocery store sums; and wonder of wonder, hubby and I were the recipients of a "pay forward" at an Arby's restaurant! So I still look for the good and pay attention to those around me... and to the nature experiences I have when I get out of the house. That does seem to help; but at no time has anyone ever engendered me to such seething hatred as DJT.
