Yeah nah I’m being a bit facetious… The whole situation really saps the soul. It’s a complex, multifaceted issue with no simple solutions in sight. It took years to build up the problems we’re facing, it’ll take years to resolve. There will be set backs, probably several in the next X years…
I’m tired, I’m frustrated, I’m utterly bewildered.
Take a beat, lick your wounds, hug your loved ones. After a brief moment to mourn what could have been, we have a lot of work to do. My bet is still on empathy and reason prevailing in the long run. Here’s hoping we get there, one baby step at a time, baby.
I think I’m going to just have to tune out social media and the internet in general for the next couple years. Focus on offline stuff and hope things don’t go to completely to hell. It’s sad but the best case scenario is that trump passes more tax cuts for billionaires and loses interest in everything else like he did last time. But yeah, on an emotional level this is even worse than 2016. It just makes no sense to me that so many people decided to just sit this one out.
