I was angry for W for instance for all the people he insured wouldn't muddle through life (all the Iraqis killed in the war). I loath Trump for all the Muslim and other Americans whose lives he will make more difficult. But I will muddle through life. Sometimes all I can wonder to that is: who cares? But I'm not actively suicidal or anything needless to say, I do preserve my life from day to day.
Let me paraphrase K-Von:

Most of us on Earth are unhappy, unfulfilled, and worn down. But we are also endowed with an iron will to live. This is a common configuration.
