Maybe you need to tune out for a bit? People deal with things differently. We are all individual.
For me, I go through a process. I have to come to grips with just how bad something can be, figure out a plan, and then look for strength to put the plan in action.
We each have our own process and time line.
This stuff is a game changer and Im willing to give people a little space to deal with it how they must.
Not everyone is ready to be positive. That simply doesnt work for some of us.

God forbid Democrats should keep harping on Trump's grotesque, unforgivable fuck-up.
