        Way ahead of you.

        But if all we can hope for is death, I don’t see a point in participating. Society is awful, people are terrible, and I can’t see the stars. And there’s literally nothing I can do to fix this, just bang my head against a wall.

        I don’t see the point in trying to make things better anymore.

          I hear ya. I had the same feeling of futility for a long while.

          I got rid of it by getting out of the house and meeting little who think like me in real life. Going to protests and school board meetings has helped me not think it’s useless.

          And showing up to those things let’s you push back on those who are pushing the wrong way. If you can’t gain ground, slow them down. Make it expensive for them to hurt us.

            I’ve tried that. They don’t think like me. I can mask really well because I’m in sales but those people are almost as alien as MAGAs. And not just politically, but socially and culturally.
