take a chill pill

Vance, Ohio Republican, said Trump opponents “need to take a chill pill.”

“These phrases were akin to other commonly used sayings like ‘don’t hate the playa, hate the game,’ ‘take a chill pill,’ and ‘say it, don’t spray it.’

“Sure hasn’t. Guess he finally decided to take a chill pill.”

In fact, indications are that we need to take a chill pill.

In 2017, in the wake of the Women’s March and travel-ban protests, he told a group at Stanford that Democrats concerned about Trump should “take a chill pill” because they weren’t going to regain power in 2018.
