You don't get it - the OP's post is the most irrelevant post in the history of irrelevant posts
When I go to sleep at night I am not thinking of iran fucking contra, I am thinking of a blown up deficit in a couple years, I am worried about a seemingly trigger happy president who tweets dumb shit with serious repercussions at 6 am in the morning, I am thinking of friends who are afraid of coming back to the states or leaving for fear of being detained because of their religion and or ethnicity or their fucking name, I am afraid of the heritage foundation vultures swarming the whitehouse who will undo every bit progress first started under FDR, decades of liberalism gone, norms and values gone, and none of them will care about the outcomes of their sick philosophies. I worry about the spread of toxic populism, the fact that this president lied about jobs coming back and has no real plans or understanding of the unique challenges of this new century, MY CENTURY. I worry about the environment, and climate change and an asshole who heads the EPA and the other asshole who won't flinch if people die in this country because of poor health coverage.
