SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - This year’s election season has been very intense and has taken a mental toll on many.

According to the American Psychological Association, 68% of Americans say that the 2020 presidential election has added significant stress to their life. The APA says this is a large increase from the 2016 presidential election, only 52% said the same thing.

Dr. Chippy Ajithan, the Mindful Cardiologist, says when you feel yourself becoming stressed, you can do breathing exercises to help.

“The breathing technique does it takes our sympathetic nervous system ...our brains are spinning. It brings it down and the relaxation part of the brain little bit takes up predominant, that’s what we want,” says Dr. Aithan.

“Find a small group of people who you trust. Within your family or outside your family. No more than six of you, to talk, to surround yourself with those people. Get engaged and fun things, have a little gathering. Have people you feel you can talk to share your concerns you don’t have to talk politics,” says Dr. Reginier.

Karens, snowflakes and soy boys hardest hit. And there is no way I'm taking any advice from someone named Dr. Chippy.

Go vote and then return home and start drinking. You will pass out early and find out the results tomorrow. No stress involved!

Incoherent much, doc? Probably went to Biden Medical School.

Stress is caused when you can’t choke the crap out of someone who desperately needs it.

I have come to the realization that this might be the last election ever. I did my part and now I wait. If Trump wins, I think the first thing that needs to be done to get our country straightened out is polygraph every employee of the FBI and Intelligence agencies to weed out those who have been disloyal to America. Many of the seditionists will resign for fear of being caught. Those who get caught lying need to be prosecuted. Whoever is left after that should be evaluated for skills and realigned to create better agencies.

Then do it in every other agency. People with TS and secret clearances accept that they can be polygraphed. Use it.
