Maybe others don’t see their position the way that you do. Maybe this whole either/or, black/white, all/nothing mindset is at the root of your problem here.

I just went outside. Nothing there. Nobody to fight.

Maybe let go of the notion that being sad, worried, pessimistic, frustrated, anxious, or depressed about the situation is inherently paralytic. Maybe question the certitude of your position on this. Just because you _need_ it to be true doesn’t mean it is true.

Maybe let go of the notion that your brand of virtue is better than everybody else’s.

Maybe let go of the notion that You Are The Way And The Truth And The Light in this issue.

I’m sure you have your justification for equating _lots of us_ with the MAGA movement. Maybe consider whether that was a wise thing to do, and whether it actually helped you achieve … what the hell _ever_ it is you’re hoping _to_ achieve, here.

Maybe.
