Are you still grieving? You are not alone.

[Amarok]

Well, this thread devolved pretty badly (yet, unsurprisingly).

I think I'll just take AT's advice, and not look at news and discussions such as this one.  It gets everyone exactly nowhere.  
As I have unfriended exactly 0 people, I have no issues there.

But let me end by saying, well intentioned as it may be, it's condescending as hell to tell people to go live in an echo chamber, as that isn't what I want. Looking away doesn't make the problem go away.  It's also pretty harsh to continue to suggest that he's just a president and has limited power, as that seems to be ignoring, well, pretty much all of the concerns people like me have.

I still love you all, but nothing is going to fix this, because what it did was reveal a truth to me.  Kind of like when I became an atheist, it is turning out to be a painful realization. A bit of an epiphany, if you will. I guess I should not be angry at other people who haven't had the same experience, or perhaps some here who had it a long time ago so are not surprised.

I will, yet again, try and stay out of political areas. Thanks for listening.  Peace.

I know times are dark and a trails lay ahead but we must be vigilant a stand against this darkness not just for ourselves but all those to come after I can't say it will work with certainty but what else do we have if not this burden
