How do you clear your mind of Trump uglies?

[mainstreetonce]

I used to watch ,then I decided I can't bear looking at him anymore.

I looked for something to binge. I found The Walking Dead.
Now when I need to clear my head, I turn off News and turn on the walkers.

It works. Clears my mind of trump. The ugly walkers are not real. Its easy to turn them off unlike Trump.

Try it,you might like bloody gore better than bloody lies.

1. I watch any channels with animals, pets, Mother Earth, history, antiques, music etc.

Most television today is pure garbage.

Take Me Away.....

3. Beautiful classical music, especially the symphonies of Gustav Mahler

Particularly Numbers 1,2, 4, and 8. It's easy to lose oneself in the pure rapturous beauty of this glorious music.

4. I watch and re-watch my...

...Downton Abbey DVDs.

5. Almost mindless British mysteries

Inspector Morse, Lewis, Endeavour, Midsomer Murders, Father Brown, Foyle’s War — those kinds of beautifully filmed, well acted, bits of gruesome mayhem. I love the locales around Oxford, the tongue-in-cheek attitude of the actors, the simple escapism.

Also enjoy Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries and Doctor Blake, both from Australia.

6. This is so lame

Forgive me, but for some reason I put on Despacito. Maybe it's the beat, or the beauty of the back drop. Right now, I just need music and my brain must spark to this song until something else takes its place.

7. Ew,ew,ew!!! Now I'm picturing Trump's uglies!!!

Thanks for the nightmares.

8. Watch YT videos about the French Revolution

9. Come to the beach.

When I can't get away, I read a book. Or look through my photo archives. Or take my dog for a walk. Or get my camera out and look for something to shoot. Or see if there's a movie to watch on demand on TV.

10. Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Except around 4:20

Early in the morning when I have to go to work, I resort to porn on the internet.

11. Yardwork. Lots of yard work.

Since the weather has been mild here, I am getting so much done outside!

Try it.... it's a great stress-reliever.

12. Wine.

13. I watch true crime murder shows.

Sadly, I find those easier to take than 45 and his admin.

20. That's what I during Bush

No murder show is creepy enough....to distract me

[Trailrider1951]

14. Beethoven's Seventh

I prefer to turn to the brilliant and beautiful to cleanse my mind of such stupidity and ugliness:

15. We Call It YouTube Hell in My House

My favorites are List25, TopTenz, Atheist Experience, Alternate History Hub, Matt Santoro, British panel shows (like QI and Would I Lie to You). Lately I've been watching Irish People Try <insert stuff like Burger King, southern deserts, Fritos, etc.>.

There's nothing like assorted trivia, watching comedians top each other, and wondering what would have happened if some historical event had gone the other way to take your mind off our troubles.

16. Playing my guitar and banjo.

Playing music is even better at clearing your head than listening.

17. During the campaign, I started watching "Murder, She Wrote"

It's on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries and I used to watch it with my grandmother. They have a few others I like, mainly "Monk" and "Diagnosis: Murder" with Dick Van Dyke. Trying to figure out the mystery took my mind off Trump and it was interesting to see the familiar actors - the entire cast of M.A.S.H. was on one show or another, LOL. I figured once the campaign was over, I'd never have to see or hear from him again. *sigh*

18. I don't watch TV much anymore

I watch Netflix and Prime on a tablet and that's it.

Find something to take your mind off of things. I've taken up knitting (pussyhats). It is very good for clearing the mind.

Other suggestions-- read or watch something totally fluffy, watch cat videos, meditate, take up yoga, exercise, etc.

19. Volunteer for something politically worthwhile

I've been fairly lucky that so many opportunities opened up to me after Trump's inauguration. Last night I went to a community organizing event. I have a meeting with that organizing group every week for the next several weeks. We will block walk in poorer Hispanic areas next year. Tonight I had Voter Action Network training with the Democratic Party. Tomorrow night, I'm going to a free screening of a movie about immigration with a friend that I've met in all my activism. This weekend, I'm blockwalking in an affluent area. I'm so busy I don't have time to think about Trump, yet I'm doing something about it.

I go to school for retired people.

I agree with Femmocrat about gardening. I'm a master gardener, my yard is a mess right now, I haven't had time!!
