    The cure for Trump-induced-anxiety is to read history.

    Woodrow Wilson had a stroke in office and was incapacitated for months. The VP never took over, instead Wilson’s wife basically became the Steward of Gondor America. So until Melania is in charge of the Executive Branch, this isn’t the craziest we’ve been in regards to Presidential heath.

    Y’all gotta stop your desperate search for a savior. The 25th isn’t a handy alternative to impeachment; it’s actually much more difficult because it would require even more Republicans to agree. Donald Trump is America’s medicine and we’re going to have to drink it all.

      Americans keep reaching for more desperate answers instead of realizing they need to do it themselves by actually protesting.

        Have you missed the news about all of the protests happening across the country? Have you missed the news about do-nothing democrats getting primaried (or on track to get primaried in the next few months) across the country? There are definitely a lot of Americans that are just waiting for someone to save them, but theres also a lot who are actively getting involved. It doesn’t feel like it bc things are shit, but this is a historic time for grassroots movements. There’s a lot of motion all over the country. Don’t lose hope
