        Look mate, I don’t even live in the States and I need to keep my sanity. I did what I could when I felt like I could do it and Americans picked Trump, so I’m doing what I gotta do to survive. Is it selfish? Yeah, it is a little bit, but that’s the truth.

        And what should we do instead that you’re doing right now? I personally feel powerless in all of this.

          Unfortunately, I don’t have the right answer. I can still recognize the wrong one though.

          That feeling of powerlessness over everything is what they want. It eventually leads to something called learned helplessness, where we no longer even try to change things.
