My natural defense is denial ("wake me up when he is gone"). But I am trying to work at myself and use better defense mechanisms . They don't come naturally, but I try.
So:
1) Humor - read Borowitz's satire
2) Altruism - try to help victims of natural disasters because no one will help us
3) Rationalization - reminding to myself that "Pence would have been worse"
4) Sublimation - I started making pearl bracelets. I started after the election, buying pearls piece by piece. So far they are not great and Trump costs me a lot, but by in three more years I think I shall learn.
5) Distraction - bought a kitty. She purrs each time she sees a human, any human. Lovely.
Please post 1000 pictures of your new kitten. PLEASE!
