Why are you are acting like a loser when you should be writing?

I mute text notifications on my phone as a rule.

Really the only people without a filter are my immediate family and some select others.

I find it too distracting and annoying to get pinged constantly throughout the day.

So when I picked up the device and saw a notification for 10 messages from a friend of mine, I cringed.

I knew he was having a meltdown.

Over Donald Trump.

There were cries lamenting our sad future.

There were dumb memes.

There was a 30-minute comedy bit about his underlings.

Now if you know a thing or two about Canadians, you’ll know there aren’t a ton of Trump fans up here.

Especially now.

And yet, you won’t find me endlessly reading, watching, and messaging about him.

What I politely said to my friend was that I don’t find Trump content funny or interesting, so save yourself some time and don’t send it to me anymore.

What I wanted to say was, “You are acting like a f***ing loser.”

James, how mean!

Why a loser, when all he was doing was what millions of others were while the inauguration took place?

And why are you acting like a loser if you did the same?
