Happy Thanksgiving to all, including to the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country, but who have miserably failed, and will always fail, because their ideas and policies are so hopelessly bad that the great people of our Nation just gave a landslide…

    I can’t even imagine going through life that angry all the time. My dad was an angry guy and died angry and also had dementia in the same way it appears to manifest in Trump. I never had anger at the level my dad did, but seeing that I have vowed to myself that I will not repeat that for myself at the end of my own life.

    Being angry all the time is just exhausting anyway.

      Honestly this is what I ask myself about conservatives a lot: how can they be so mad at so many things all the time?

        It’s easier to make people feel angry than to feel angry. And making people feel strongly about anything is a great way to get them engaged with you. I’m sure there’s a name for wanting to feel strong feelings. Maybe it’s just brain chemistry. But Republicans and other malicious actors exploit that.

        It’s because they’re stunted and inadequate. Understanding is hard, and so are any real solutions.

      It’s not that different from the people who are angry all day every day about what Trump, Elon or whoever is doing. Reading articles about them and writing mean comments might feel like activism but the reality is that it’s them and only them whose being harmed by it. Anger is such an exhausting and unpleasant feeling that personally I try and avoid it for as much as possible. It also clouds one’s judgement and makes them less effective about what ever it is that they wish to achieve.
