CMV: the future is bleak for the US

Let me preface this by saying I have two young children and I stay awake a lot at night scared for their future. With all of the drama over Trump(I do not need to go into detail over the split and uproar that is currently going on and likely to worsen) I am concerned the US will start descending from its "place to be" spot. The rift between the two(main) political party lines is likely to widen to the point where no bipartisanship will be happening. The debt is rising and unemployment isn't trending at a rate to be happy about. I'm not here asking for sunshine and rainbows because I know that's not what life is. I am hoping someone can change my view, just for my sanity's sake.

You need to stop paying attention to the news, it is destroying your mental calm.

Think honestly- If you had never once in your life turned on the news, never voted, and never participated, how much different would your life be? How many things seemed terrifying and turned out to not have much of an impact on your life at all?

We live in the best time the world has ever known. Politicians and media organizations both derive power from keeping people in a state of fear and panic. What you're doing is exposing yourself to every bad thing that happens all around the world, from a person trying to make it sound as bad as possible, without seeing any of the good.

We live in the most prosperous, equal, enlightened period in the entirely of human history. Trump is trying to do all kind of crazy shit but even the Republicans are fighting him, what does that tell you? The system is in place to keep idiots in check, and it does a reasonable job. The best thing about the government is that it's so inefficient it can hardly accomplish anything.

Turn off the news. Spend time with your children. Take them to a park, point out how beautiful the trees, clouds, and sky are. Raise them in a happy world, don't bring them up thinking that we live in a dystopia when they can literally do *anything they want.*
