I am 65, and I have never felt such despair and sadness as I have since Trump was elected this year. The entire world, not just America, is leaning into cruel fascism and willing ignorance, little is being done to oppose it, and I see the problem is the nature of Man itself.
My mental health is complete shit. It would be irrational to think that this global nightmare would not harm minds and bodies.
