#we're a very purple area and I think the business caught enough disgust from the locals that he had to stop

One of the saddest things in my life I have discovered of late is that I make my therapist nervous. My therapy-session yesterday: Had me going on one of my most frequent topics (after health-issues / worrying about the partner and money-stuff) - politics. The cool thing about her is that, while this is usually a taboo-subject for most people, something one might not even talk to one's therapist about, I have a therapist who agrees with me that Trump is a horrible person who is horrible for the country, and all his ilk. (She's expressed fearing Desantis to me in the past). Anyway, I've talked about recent events - mostly the fear that certain event might rocket asshole to a win, also public violence is scary. I go on about my fears of potentially living under Fascism in the near future. This woman is supposed to help me with my anxiety, depression, mania and whatnot. And she does, mostly. However, it feels like there are just things she cannot do. The world is just like that, I guess. There are some things that even the people who are paid to help you cope are limited in helping you cope with. I told her I plan to vote, and, well, she concurred with me "That's all that we can do." She told me to limit my news-intake and said that is what she does because she "tries not to think about it, because it makes her anxious, too." Apparently, I'm the only client who brings this stuff up to her - I really thought she'd have almost everybody. I wonder if I'm the only client *she* trusts with political bull-sessions? I'm in a situation of "How is therapy supposed to help me with one of my current MAJOR issues when my therapist is just as scared as I am?!"
