Today's speech was about denial. But not the shitlib style of denial where you cry about things you cannot or choose not to change.
Trump announced his candidacy after the results of the mid-terms were essentially in.
And what did he accomplish by doing this?
He denied the shitlibs, leftists, democrats, and never-Trumpers any ability to say that the mid-terms were in any way a referendum on Trump.
That is why the anti-Trumpers are so angry right now.
Trump denied them this.
I feel the same. I can't flip-flop that fast after a big build up. And I can't always find a silver lining in everything Trump does or doesn't do...even as hard as I try. I've been here appreciating the hell outta the like-mindedness and respecting that I'm in the company of amazingly intelligent people for a good while now, lurking and commenting more than actually bringing anything new to the table. But my hopium balloon burst hard last night. Felt the same way I felt when nobody got arrested on inauguration day. I sat and cried. If you want to call me a doomer, go for it. I don't feel I am though as I'm only expressing my deepest feelings of disappointment and bewilderment in what I've come to recognize as a safe place to share and connect. As I mentioned in a thread yesterday, if we don't actually hear some big news that'll move the needle forward in a bigly way, then I'm taking a break. Need to do it for my mental health. Love you guys to the moon, but I'm a heartbroken lady this morning, I'm sorry to say.
