Big Picture or how I'm interpeting our days ahead.... [View all]

And of course it is not pretty.

But I've come to the conclusion that I just can't care about it anymore. Not that I don't care-it just is doing me-and many others-physical & mental harm to do so.

And I've also come to the conclusion that no amount of rhetoric blowback or protest is going to amount to anything.

The people who are in charge are obviously mentally ill. Through brainwashing or mass hysteria there is no "rational" process to follow. So a rational person has no chance of keeping abreast or ever being consequential.

Other than to follow your own normal moral compass & show compassion when you can. Practice what you preach-but do not expect to enlighten any Trump follower.

There is a end game light at the end of the tunnel what have you. That is this small kernel of truth- it is a cycle & it will run its course.

Only then will the curtain be lifted-when jobs promised never appear. When the wars start because a madman does what a madman does-well they will have to learn or die. As we all will. Only then will we have a common cause-survival. As a nation or just humans how far who knows.

If you ignore the idiocy-as best possible-life can be fairly normal. If you try to follow this you will be driven mad or ill from the effort.
That is my take....
