Sometimes. you just gotta rant #Election2016 @TheAmishDude

by Kim D.

 Last week was Spring Break for my kiddo. Unfortunately, business is bleak for those in the oil and gas industry which means we weren't taking that expensive trip to Disney World, going to see the Grand Canyon, or hopping aboard a ship to cruise our cares away like others in my son's kindergarten class were doing. No, we drove to Dallas to visit my brother and his family and visit the Lego Discovery Center which, for my son, was the highlight of the entire trip.  Needless to say, Twitter and the news, in general, were turned off so I could focus on family.

This political season has been utter madness. It's okay to turn off the hype; in fact, it may be necessary for many of us who are not part of the paid media. For regular folks on the right, temporarily shutting off the 24/7 "lying Ted," "let's punch a protester Trump," and "doesn't have a China man's chance in hell Kasich" may be a healthy choice, like ordering the veggie burger instead of the greasier version with cheese.

 I know I feel better this Monday - less angry. However, catching up on what I've missed after taking a break is always a treacherous task. So instead of going back and reading last week's tweet and DM activity, I jumped on my general timeline and saw a rant that describes pretty much how I felt before taking a break.

 The account is AgainstTrumpDude and those who have been angered and depressed by the blind support of the Republican front runner can relate:
I feel your pain dude (insert sad smiley with teardrop).
