They WANT to exhaust you, so do whatever you need to to disconnect ("yes" to all your suggestions). I'd also say just to follow the most important issue TO YOU, not the chaos of the day. Pick something to focus on, donate, talk about it and just stick to your one thing to advocate for.

Our country is in a relationship with a malignant narcissistic sociopath. The narcissist's formula: Create chaos based on petty vendettas + gaslighting(blame someone else)/"it never happened" + "you're all overreacting"= toxic cycle of abuse that the flying monkeys will make excuses for.
Fun stuff.

My 85 year old dad and I were on a driving trip this weekend, and some jerk going 90+ mph was weaving in and out, almost caused an accident right in front of us. Dad yelled, "Trump voter!" instead of "Asshole!", and it immediately became what we would say every time we saw a jerky driver.

It's all public, unless you block folks you don't actually know. 😔 It's cumbersome and not the solution I was hoping for, but at least I have a way to connect with folks...

That is an impressive affirmation. I may have to borrow.

I hate hate. So saddened.

They WANT a civil war. Scary stuff ahead.

There is not one apathetic cell in my body. I'm with you!
