When this piece was originally written, I was too many pounds lighter, my mother was still alive, and my Facebook feed was still filled with political posts...different stuff...same anger. I was getting ready to write something about this Thanksgiving, but as I read this one, I thought a lot about my mom. If she were here, she would be telling all of us who are currently losing our minds to calm down, see what happens, and then deal with it like grown-ups.
