I’ll be honest, I don’t even want to read articles anymore. Its just crazy cabinet nominees every time. Wars happening. Nothing I can control. I just post something sarcastic or jokes in the comments. The only thing I care is if a hurricane is headed in my direction.

Y’all actually read all this shit? How does anyone have the energy?

    I do basic research, and vote, and then basically ignore the news and wash the sins off of me. I aint responsible for how everyone else voted. I voted, I did my part. If evil wins, that wasn’t my fault.

    Now I can skim headlines and make jokes in the comments while I wait to see what happens in the future.

      I agree that it’s healthy to be able to disconnect from the news.

      I also think that current events are going to get real bad, real fast, real soon. Then again I’m part of a minority that has some of the most vile rhetoric thrown at them, so that probably colours my opinion a smidge.

      I hope you get to vote in the next cycle. I also hope that everyone starts doing something for their community beyond showing up to vote once every four years. The world’s not going to change for the better otherwise.
