Succumbing to these predatory myths does not mean you are unintelligent, weak, or lack good character and morals. I have a Bachelor’s degree; have been a working professional my entire life; am a family man; and consider myself a relatively honest and intelligent person. I think the same about you.

Cope. I get the message. But it absolutely does mean those things

Yeah normally I would agree with the message... But with Trump? You have to actually have been braindead to genuinely think things would go well under Trump. Especially after the first term

people need to cope, that's not a bad thing. if we could have treated this like the mental illness it always was we probably could have actually extricated our families from it earlier on. but I know moral schadenfreude is valuable too, I wouldn't want to take that from anyone
