I know I can't really do much more than I have been doing, and possibly because I was taught I was an out of control monster and a lot of my buttons are being pushed, I feel like I'm not supposed to be *this upset* over political stuff. Could I ask for reassurance that I'm within reasonable bounds to be upset?

reassurance over current state of things 

@Leucrotta You're definitely within reasonable bounds to be as upset as you are. It's pretty upsetting stuff.

re: reassurance over current state of things 

@Bel_tamtu Thanks!

@Leucrotta
Yes, absolutely. You have far more than enough reason to be upset

@liam Thanks!

Responding to this as the most recent comment; at the moment this is fairly impersonal, but I've been so hopping mad (the Sieg Heiling *is* personal, and that really really made me ridiculously angry). And I've also been raised to think I'm completely out of control, out of bounds, some sort of angry monster; I have no perspective whatsoever.
