2. I've felt the same since Nov. 3. I live in a 'red' state and find
myself saying, "Dumber than dirt" to everyone who makes a turn in front of me, doesn't have enough sense to turn on their headlights when it's dark or snowing, who comes barreling up behind me and wants to run 75MPH in the 40MPH zone. I decided to cancel my newspapers, not listen to any network or cable news, and rely solely on the internet and international news. I swore that I would no longer make any charitable contributions in support of people within the US. Gave my money to UNICEF, Heifer Internatl., enviromental groups, and animal shelters. Put my house up for sale by owner on Nov. 6th and took the sign back down 2 weeks later (after about 25 calls), since with the US dollar being worth shit against the Euro, I can't afford to move to Ireland. Plastered my car with bumper stickers and am just waiting for comments. One calls the GOP the Friendly Fascists, another says, "There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people." Another says, "If you want a country ruled by religion, move to Iran" and another proclaims, "We are the rogue state". Didn't put up a single Xmas decoration nor send a single card. I hardly speak to anyone but my dogs!
