Especially as it’s decidedly unproductive to constantly just be horrified at each day’s multiple rounds of news of terrible, immature, awful behavior coming from the government. I mean, I can see why people are semi-ironically nostalgic for George W Bush; he was incompetent, but in sort of a low-key aw-shucks sort of way with big obvious failures and fuckups opponents could point at. With Trump, to keep up, you end up just screaming incoherently at the non-stop shock, to the point where “hey, the President dictated a letter helping his son lie about helping Russia interfere with the election” isn’t a weeks’ worth of headline news, it’s just the 2pm awfulness.
