Anyone Else Feel This Way?

Since Trump took office, every day has been at least a little bit shitty. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not at least a little bit ashamed or angry or nauseated or concerned. Yes, yes, I know that I'm in charge of how I engage with the world and employ my consciousness, and that my peace of mind and well being isn't contingent on someone else's actions. And yet, and yet. I'm no Dali Lama, so I deviate from perfect, or even decent equanimity on a fairly regular basis thanks to our cut-rate Mussolini, whose true genius is dominating the news cycle and dragging everyone down to his very humorless and ignoble level in the process. Wait, let me modify that: the Dalai Lama also feels shitty about it all.
