When I first heard of the phenomena or "trigger warnings" I thought they were some way of warning people quickly, say via mass text messages that there was an actual physical threat in a particular area, like a reported active shooter in a college setting or something. When I found out what they actually were, I said a silent thank you to the universe for the fact I was born long enough ago that I did not need to be protected against the possibility that someone, somewhere, may say something, that I might find upsetting. Good God are we effed as a society. We see harm where there is only information, and we see no threat where the threat has never been more real. I suppose the good thing about a Trump presidency is it will speed up the inevitable and give the next dominant species on the planet a head start.
