After four years of the Dotard, we have become addicted to excitement.

Like children who grow up with an active alcoholic parent.

The Laundry List – 14 Traits of an Adult Child of an Alcoholic

For four years, we have dreaded hearing the news when we wake up in the morning. We were thinking, what has he done now?

For this reason, I think funds for counseling should be included in the next stimulus bill. Americans need mucho therapy.

The ones who supported the Dotard need it even more than those who totally opposed him and despise him.

... within a minute of the inauguration.

With the sarcasm emoji, of course!

Edit: It's been more like 4 years of terror for me, though.

Surprisingly, it really happened to me AFTER Nov 3rd.
It all started with the contested election crazies.....

Since then, I feel like the crazies.
