It’s just over three months into Donald Trump’s term as president, and as much as you promised everyone on Facebook that you’d "NEVER GIVE UP!" it’s time to be honest: you’re totally gonna give up.

Of course, you’re not *actually* going to fold just yet  — you know that if you don’t scream at your dumb Congressperson or send money to that rando candidate in Pieceofshittown, Western Civilization will crumble to the ground. But a creeping, low level sense of despair has already entered your bones. Your brain is a hazy fog of "Wait, what?," "I don’t care," and "How are we not dead yet?"

You’re suffering from Trump Fatigue Syndrome.

Psychologists have yet to do extensive research into the disease, perhaps because I made it up. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. 

The level of crap being forced upon the American people is unprecedented. Every day tests our resilience and willingness to take that crap and throw it at someone who deserves it. 

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, please turn off your Twitter immediately. 

1. So much insanity has gone down in the past 24 hours you think it’s Friday, even though it’s Monday.

2.  You find the idea of a Ted Cruz presidency almost . . . comforting.

3. You see that we’re restarting a war in Afghanistan but you forget about it ten minutes later because, hello, that’s old news!

4. Comey? Who’s James Comey? That’s soooo last Friday.

5. You realize you’re putting your faith in the hands of a man named "Mad Dog," and somehow, that doesn’t bother you anymore.

6. Every morning you wake up and you’re surprised that you’re not dead.

7. If President Trump suddenly decided we weren’t going to have elections anymore, you wouldn’t be surprised.

8. In fact, the idea of a Russian-style authoritarianism doesn’t sound so bad because at least it’s not a nuclear holocaust.

9. If someone told you that President Trump believed that Santa Claus was real and brought him to the casinos every year, you would believe it. 

10. If someone told you that President Trump wanted to replace Air Force One with a calvary of unicorns, you’d also believe that.

11. If someone told you that President Trump wanted to abandon the White House spend the rest of his presidency stealing from the country while golfing at Mar-a-Lago, you’d be freaking thrilled.

12. On more than one occasion, you’ve said: "George Bush . . . he wasn’t so bad!"

13. You forgot to call your representative yesterday.

14. Also the day before that.

15. And the day before — listen, you’re having a bad week, okay?

16. You’re totally going to go to the next protest though. That one will be different.

17. You’ve lost the ability to be mad at Trump anymore because you’re mad at everyone in his life who won’t tell him no. Paul Ryan. The United States Congress. Half of the country and 90% of your Facebook feed.

You’re not going to give up — but oh boy, do you want to.
