they just want to stay hopeful. we've been dealing with an incompetent president who made headlines constantly for screwing things up for eight whole years. people are tired. i, for one, understand why people aren't jumping down his throat about everything and being incredibly critical - we've been doing it for eight years. we feel like we elected someone now who has a grasp of what he's doing. our cutting him some slack is not wrong, it's a natural reaction. he just took office, and honestly, people just want to keep believing we did the right thing by electing him, so they are supporting him. especially in this totally uncontroversial article about how he reads some letters people send him? let people be approving without treating them like sheep. give us a break.
