In my growing up years, we had respect for our Representatves, Senators, Supreme Court Justices, and our Presidents.
Among the media there is no respect for any of those leaders unless they are of the same twisted mind as those in the media.
While many, like myself, watch the daily Presidential briefing, far too many folks who grew up in the same era as I did, seem to be spending their time watching Netflix or engaged in some other non-informative behavior.

My husband becomes so furious, he yells at the monitor and he has a hard time limiting his anger to the deserving suspects.
He’s trying, but he has a logical mind and an American sense of justice. He wants heads on pikes and mass impoverishment of the coup plotters & media, along with general disenfranchisement of progs, with a side of treason charges.
My own anger is colder and I am resigned to being patient, but I empathize with his responses.
We just made an offer on a property and hopefully will be occupied with moving over the next 2 months. Meanwhile, I watch the briefings, usually on delay so I can pause and take breaks to calm down.
DH watches something mindless, plays solitaire, takes walks, does yard work or sometimes just goes for a drive.
Born in the 40s, raised in the 50s and came of age in the 60s....I read a lot of sci-fi and dystopian fiction and this is almost verbatim many stories. Some days I just cannot even catch my breath and it isn’t because of COVID.
