Exactly. We can only deal with so many issues in a 24 hour period. With trump, there’s 47 new issues every day. Fraud overload. No way to respond to all the trash. We need the boondocks saints to just get rid of the bulk of the garbage and let’s see how the surviving trash changes almost overnight.
I mean, the point I was trying to make is that if you aren’t actively engaged in politics, you won’t know any of those things. Heck, I’m pretty engaged in my local news, taking maybe 15-30 minutes a day to read about local and state issues, and off the top of my head, I couldn’t tell you who my state level rep is, or what they’ve voted for recently. That’s why people don’t vote then out, there is an apathetic disconnect between the politicians vote, and the shitty policies that they support. Hence why people keep actively voting for politicians who undermine and harm them, the people voting can’t be bothered to connect their vote to the policies that are enacted.
I fully agree. It’s just not easy and I don’t like feeling like I could shoot a politician in the face and lose no sleep. It’s pure hatred, gotta tune some out before you go crazy
