I feel so bad for not knowing about it before.

1. I’m not gonna look a memes or opinion pieces, just review genuine news articles to keep on top of things. For local elections, I may have to dig a bit, but I’ll try not to get down into the sewers.
2. I’m gonna vote for whoever is the least-bad option at every level.
3. If I actually find a candidate that I can support on their own merits, I will talk them up to neighbors, and support them monetarily.
4. I will remind myself that human nature has been the same for millennia, and nothing I can do will change it. All I can do is try to mitigate the fall-out. “Do what you can, with what you’ve got, where you are.” “You do the job that’s in front of you.” (Terry Pratchett, “Night Watch”)

My husband does this too, and when I ask “What’s up?” he coyly replies “You’ll see!” Argh!

My people!

We should be rioting as well, but we are too apathetic.
