need therapy for my therapy

Right now I feel like an eggshell plaintiff. I just lost it on my therapist—screaming and swearing to try to explain to her why losing Ruth Bader Ginsburg is so significant to American democracy. She told me "there's nothing we can do about it. It's just politics." I said, ‘Yes, actually there is something we can do about it, we can call our senators.’ She said, ‘Okay well you can do that after your test.’ Then she goes onto say ‘I think they're naming the nominee today.’ No, she did not. Oh wait, yes, she fucking did. I lost it. I said, ‘I know he's shameless, but I swear to God if he names his nominee while her body lies at the Supreme Court for her family to mourn, I just can't. I don't think we share the same political views.’ She said, ‘Why do you think that?’—Trying to psychoanalyze my statement. I finally asked her, "aAe you a republican?" She said "I'm moderate. I do everything in moderation." I said ‘Well this isn't just politics to me. This is very personal and has me seriously losing faith in democracy. This is about fundamental rights and civil liberties. This is about free and fair elections. This is about whether the government can make decisions about my body.’ I think she voted for Trump and now I need a new therapist.
