It's been 1000 days since Trump became President

Can a mod fix this thread title? I think 'years' autocorrected to 'days'. Thanks.
Real talk tho, I feel like my health/body has deteriorated more in the last 3 years than it had in the entire preceding 31. A person is not meant to spend a significant chunk of time thinking/worrying about the president of the united states every. single. day. Yet here we are.

Every time some news person says out loud the words, "President Trump", I still can't believe those two words are being said together. I also still can't believe that about 30% of the country believes every word Dear Leader says, despite him lying something like 13,500 times and never doing anything for those people, nor ever giving a damn about regular folks his entire life.
I look forward to him being the first POTUS in over 150 years to be impeached in his first term.
Everyone... VOTE! And not a throwaway vote for Stein. If RBG goes the SC will be stacked for generations.

Era's existed for less time than his presidency but I bet we have well over 10,000 Trump-related threads.
Wow I died and went to hell 1000 days ago. How time flies or means nothing in the eighth circle...
People said he wouldn't last a month back in the day but if he is re-elected that's nearly a decade of our lives gone with Trump in charge. How depressing is that?
I still cannot believe he's President.
every ducking day I wake up and something insane or shitty or insanely shitty has happened. It's honestly been even worse than I could've possibly imagined and then some.

Surprised, back then. Honestly didn't think there were quite that many racist shitfuck morons in this country.
These days it just makes me depressed. If Biden gets the nomination it's going to be really really fucking depressing.

After the election night I felt a certain dread.
It was palpable, sensed in the air. Of course in my household we were all shocked, amused even in a horrified kinda way. We did not think it all would sink so low. I slept just a few hours, with a mental heaviness that cannot be described. I avoided the news after the election for a couple of weeks, not because I was angry or upset or sad, but because I could not tolerate any more stupidity, and there was plenty on air.
Everyone could feel something was off throughout the next few days at work and elsewhere. Some of my friends said going places, the gym, the supermarket, etc, they felt other people angry and perturbed.
It wasn't until much later, maybe on inauguration, that I finally figured out and understood what was hissing like snake underneath in the shadows of my psyche. It was the knowledge that this was just the beginning, that it wasn't Trump mainly or specifically, but that he had been elected in a flawed system by a minority of racist, pieces of shit, yet still close enough to half the country who could not understand the idiocy of electing a reality television star, a racist, corrupt businessman, misogynistic, a narcissist, a mobster. Worse, they thought it was good to have such a businessman to run things like a business, because y'know how well businesses care for the welfare of all the working classes, and the insurmountable hypocrisy of the religious sects of the country voting for this asswipe to get their agenda established. This was the sign of the times, this was their President, a final fuck you to Obama and progressiveness.
Never did I believe this society would regress the way it had, I thought we would move forward and despite all the problems, we would conquer them and learn. Nope. I finally understood that it was not that we regressed, the inferiors, the cruel, the racist, the ignorant fucks of society were always there, the ones straddling the line could always be swayed and influenced and fooled, and it was never going to change. They will forever be beholden to the vagrancies of superficiality.
And despite the Chosen Orange One's incompetence, somehow, someday, the deplorables will elect someone competent who has learned the lessons of loudmouth charm, emotional manipulation, just to appeal to the lower passions of the hypocritical republican mouthbreathers.

When he was elected I was horrified. I knew of his history and he was clearly inept and didn't have the maturity for the job. Now? I am very concerned that nearly half this country is too stupid to be allowed to vote, and the electoral college is clearly not something that should exist for another minute; minority rule is never a good thing.
let's
Seriously, don't try to police what people can say about donald goddamn trump, of all people. He deserves to be everything-shamed.

It does. I feel like more time has passed. The news cycle under Trump moves at a million miles an hour. I could barely tell you what scandal of Trump's was headlining the news 6 months ago. It is constant and relentless. And the language being throw around in right-wing circles, that a deep state coup is trying to unseat this president, it concerns me. I don't see how we return to normalcy. 40% of this country unequivocally supports the man. Family, friends, and neighbors. Coworkers. These people are deplorables and they aren't going anywhere.
He must have the record for having a scandal nearly every day.
It's been an exhausting experience.

Donald Trump is a stupid fucking asshole and everyone who voted for him is a stupid fucking asshole and I fucking hate feeling angry every fucking day fuck.
I think I have this on a sticky note somewhere in my car
Its been a wild ride and pretty terrible. Though honestly not as bad as I initially expected due to the sheer stupidity and incompetence of the administration.
