(3,032 posts)1. You know, I'm having a hard time staying out of an outrage spiral...
Those people accusing the protesters of being paid are tools of a machine they can't comprehend. Ten years ago, I felt sorry for them. Now I just want to say "Fuck 'em!" That's not a productive or sane position to hold. Anyone have tips on how to talk yourself down off the rage ledge?

.... cause I'm standing right there with you. Rage is the only rational way to feel about what's going on right now.

was certain that all of the protesters are from outside the district. Just like her.

The trumpians are the ones in the 2nd half of the clip:
- woman from another district
- not committing to NOT being paid
- the buses were for the trumpians
