Fake positivity doesn’t erase real negativity.

Telling somebody to “be positive” doesn’t make them any less sad, angry, numb, or pained. It just changes how honest they are with you about what they’re feeling.

This week is feeling a lot like that week in January when the conservative establishment finally admitted they couldn't cover for Trump's criminality anymore. I wonder if they'll take it all back in a month this time too? https://t.co/rrqXDb94I3
