Can we have a 90-day moratorium on the words CHILLING, MELTDOWN, PANICS, COGNITIVE DECLINE, WARNS et al?

50 posts a day at least on YouTube (and then posted again here) using these terms as if he and his administration are in some kind of death spiral.

BUT THEY'RE NOT.

Every morning, they start it all up all over again, no one is even fazed by anything that happened before.
Relentlessly and remorselessly.
Even his "COGNITIVE DECLINE!" seems to still allow him to know EXACTLY what he's doing as he destroys America. Amazing to have such a highly cognitive COGNITIVE DECLINE????

Please find other, ACCURATE ways to describe what's happening because NO ONE has been chilled, melted down, or panicked.
They're actually reveling in it.

And while I'm at it, the same with the word WARNS.
Post after post after post like "Obama warns!" "Hillary Warns!" "Robert Reich Warns!" and dozens of others.
Yet I have not seen these same folks posting "Here's the solution".
We all know what's happening, we don't need any warnings, we need good hard info on ways to actually combat it.

This is not a rant against any Democrats, they all mean well, but we really need solutions now.

Call them satire, hopeful, caricature ... someone has to speak up for other perspectives.

You are actually 100% correct, but sadly, the attention-getting world of the internet and its zero attention span handicap make the hyperbolic and usually false headlines and taglines / thumbnails about as honest and accurate as people selling you bridges or real estate in Florida.

associated with them and their causes. I get dozens of texts every day with those words and more in the heading, as if that's what's going to motivate me to whip out my credit card and donate....They must think we're all just trembling in our boots at every next thing the right throws at us.
