I dont agree.
It's everyones affair. In the case of smaller countries a local and contained affair, in the case of the USA a global affair. Everyone will be afflicted and the winners will be the minority. In fact, saying it's none oof our affair now is one of the sentiments I resent the most. It's on the lines of sitting on one's backside while others are carrying the load. If one is so privileged to sit something like that out. Which I doubt very much, unless the one making that statement is filthy rich and pretty much their own island.
I have to say, the quote in your OP only fills me with resentment of the one making it. It's one of the stupidest comments I had the misfortune to read and probably the major reason why figures like that assclown can rise to power.
Sorry to add to your unhappiness over this botched election. What I meant is that I will find my satisfaction in the little things every day the way I always do. I am far from wealthy but we are not desperate. Doesn't mean I won't be involved at all but there will be considerably less to do for a while and for that I am grateful. Politics is not my favorite thing in life and I refuse to let it rob me of those things which do make life rich. It is important but it is an odious task; I take seriously but refuse to dwell on more than I can help it. Perhaps on that we will just have to disagree.
