none of you dare try to stop me from expressing my pain.

Here’s a book you might enjoy

Edit: I posted before seeing Jay’s post, so in all seriousness allow me to add this: you’re of course entitled to your opinions frevious, however your worldview is terribly American-centric. You’re equating the state of American politics with the fate of the universe, which is a tad hyperbolic. If Trump’s presidency is weighing so heavily on you, try changing the proverbial channel; read about what’s going on elsewhere in the world. See what other countries are doing to have a positive impact on the planet. And let’s not pretend that Trump’s actions will necessarily affect the mindset and goals of other Americans:

Lastly, to quote a couple lines from Max Ehrmann’s poem Desiderata:

the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
