All the headlines today paint a picture of a US that is worried, under extreme stress, anxious, and emotionally destroyed. I wonder why is that? Could it be that both candidates are making threats and unleashing dark, violent rhetoric? I think that’s what the New York Times is implying here.

Or it all our stress be due to one of the candidates? Let’s think this one over.

Isn’t is just one side that ruins our mental health? Think. Which party has been fucking with us for most of our lives?

Surely the stress is not being caused by both sides. It’s one side. Since 1980 it has always been one side.

Are we worried what Kamala Harris will do should she win, as the exit polls suggest? Is she going to have her rivals assassinated? Is she going to broadcast social media posts at five in the morning, ranting about how she didn’t look her best in an interview? She will go off on some White House leak that she privately insults Americans, has to be shown pictures rather than words, or has to have two scoops of vanilla ice cream before burrowing into the White House residence for 8 hours a night? And if she has a bad day, would she throw items against the walls, stuff her personal toilet with printed classified materials, and just rant endlessly on X?

Trump once posted 52 times on X in a single 24-hour period. Now tell me where the stress is coming from and what this nation is worried about.
