I guess I walked the same path - but it lead me to be a non-participator. I was committed enough to a set of political beliefs that I actually..not metaphorically or politically, fought for them. Now? Meh. It can all burn and maybe then I'll feel as motivated as I once was. I don't begrudge people who find themselves at the "lesser evil" point, but I went through and left that place. Consequentially, I still like Maher, and when he JAQs off all over a bad take I just think "well, bless his heart."
Meh, I think my participation is out of a misplaced sense of duty, even though I've left the USA.
