80. It's because you are wise.

Anyone NOT bothered by Trump has to be some unfeeling nutcase. None of us here qualify as that. I hear your lament from so many people, and obviously *I* feel that way.

Please take care of yourself and do what you need to do to stay healthy and manage the stress. Easier said than done, I know. But we have to try to keep living (not simply existing, but actually LIVING) through these perilous times.

Wishing you all the very best.
