This 100%. I care about politics. I deeply care about what's happening with our country.
But I've had to pare down the places where I see it. I've stopped watching Last Week Tonight because it makes me feel so powerless on what I have control over. I absolutely love the show but I just....can't anymore.
I'm acting locally, participating in whatever protests I can, calling and emailing my reps as often as I can.
But man...the right's "flood the zone" works effectively and I can't just keep burning out.
