2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision for America.
My point is that looking back on it, in the end the only real difference I made was at the ballet box. This year I’m going for the Head-in-the-Sand approach. I’m done with the political memes. Done with the Twitter screenshots. It just riles me up and this year I’m gonna do my best to fight that.
I do not vote for a party but a person. Regardless of side I vote for the one that best appeals to my morals and beliefs. Most likely I will vote for Mr. Kennedy this year.
As for following social media and the news, I simply don’t. I just ignore them and rate the person myself through their communications with people and talking points.
