Trauma is different to political sadness
“The situation of 2001 was traumatic. For people like us it was beautiful but at the same time a lot of people were traumatized, a lot of people were killed by police. It was a strange sensation for people in my generation who were in permanent mobilizations and now have come back to their old model of life. I prefer to use the term trauma than political sadness to describe the psychology of people after 2001. We have had some deep traumas – the first one was in 1976 during the dictatorship, the second one was for us our generation. A lot of people escape in an exodus, the young people escape because it was very unstable, you have your money in the bank and then the United States makes the decision and poof! It’s gone.”

OK, now define political sadness.
