Letter: Survive the chaos with a smile

If you are a liberal like me, you are probably somewhat horrified by the events of the last couple of weeks. When you read a headline about the doings of the upcoming Trump administration, your teeth clench, your neck tightens and your blood pressure rises. That's simply not healthy. So here is my suggestion concerning an alternate mindset that will allow you to digest these stories with a smile on your face. Simply pretend that you are reading the Onion no matter which news source you are actually reading. The headline "Matt Gaetz nominated for Attorney General" would be shocking and possibly upsetting normally, but such a headline in the Onion would make me laugh and look forward to reading the story. We can all survive Trump's chaos with smiles on our faces if we realize that it's all just a massive joke.
