I don't know what to say anymore [View all]

A CNN poll finds people are hopeful for Trump's administration and think the transition is going great.
Time magazine named him person of the year.

Seems like everyone is rolling over and surrendering to TSF before he even takes office.

I feel like I'm going crazy. I don't know how to process all this. It makes no sense. You could tell me the sky is purple and the dirt is orange and I would have an easier believing that than what is happening. Is this the upside down? I hope I wake up staring at a wall and drooling because that would still be better this this insanity being real life.
