Create crap on a daily basis most of it really scary and horrible so that by the time a new horrible thing happens you are dull to all of it and feel like an abused spouse.

It feels overwhelming and like too much to deal with. I think most of the country feels like this now or us in a state of denial or purposefully not paying attention as a way to numb it out.
