I have dread in my heart and guts and after the many months of stress I need to rest my mind, to detach and get my energy back. But I won't let that man defeat me and I plan to stay subscribed. I thank you for your courage and for your strength and energy. Bless you David.

All of this makes sense of course. As a foreigner I can't even affect your elections, but still I've been following US politics actuvely for about 20 years now.

This result is so mind-numbingly depressing that I can so much understand the need to disconnect.

I mean the next two years will be all horror stories of the policies they have the free reign to enact. And we can't do anything about it. And when the policies finally start to have a bad effect on Trump voters themselves, they won't care. They'll just believe the right wing echo chamber and blame it on the libs.

Inflation goes up due to tariffs? Biden did it. Trump is trying to fix it. Women dying because abortion is banned? Leftist moral degradation causes the pregnancies etc.

I probably still won't... but I want to tune out so motherfrackingly bad. Keep up the fight, David. I hope you and the personalities like you effect real change in the future.
