These people need to redirect their followers' attention and anger onto literally anything but real circumstances. I'm so tired, it keeps working.
Politics is just entertainment for most these days, it seems.
Yeah. I am trying to find ways to disengage from the nonsense without disengaging from my like, actual responsibilities to my society. But the jury is extremely out on how I do that right now. Having my emotions (and everyone else's)manipulated for the gain of others no longer feels useful or like staying informed.
