    That’s the part where I’m divided. On the one hand, I understand that they basically have to strip the website down to the basic foundation then rebuild it. On the other hand… I’m not entirely sold that when it returns it will have all of the things it once had. Only time will tell I guess.

      We know from Trump’s first four years that taking stuff down he doesn’t personally like is permanent. He ditched pages on climate change and LGBTQ+ rights and those pages for example.

        Hence why I say that I’m not sold on the idea that they will be coming back… Cautious optimism maybe but I won’t be holding my breathe.

          There is zero reason to be optimistic about the decisions of fhe Trump administration.

          My only optimism is about bureaucracy and legal challenges getting in the way of the administration’a attempts to break everything.

            You’re probably right. I’m just “huffing copium” as the kids say I guess. Already bad enough struggling with anxiety and depression this whole ordeal just exacerbates it so I’m doing what I can to not be completely defeatist/doomer about it. Keyword is trying. So far I’m not doing so hot.

      If you have any belief that any of this stuff will be returning, I have beachfront property on Mars that you may be interested in.

      Yeah, I mean every administration rebuilds the entire website after inauguration. I think it’s telling, though, that they didn’t have the full website ready to go.
