Couldn’t agree more. It is exhausting. And I’m fed up with politics being infused into everyday life. Especially when it comes through in entertainment. It’s one thing if it’s part of the storyline but to sacrifice story for a political message is just plain ridiculous and tiring. Doesn’t matter what the message is. There are just some places politics shouldn’t be. Now it’s everywhere and it’s SUFFOCATING.
I relate so hard to that follow-up...especially about saying the “wrong” thing and the feeling that I need to have some response prepared at all, because of the likelihood something political or divisive will come up.
I’m politically weary and politically homeless. In 2006 a professor told me (naturally while reading Burke) that he was a granola conservative which I resonated quite well with and still do. So I guess I’ve been politically homeless pretty much since I was 18 and didn’t quite realize it.
Election season seems to continue 24/7. I thought we were done with the midterms, but now am seeing adverts for state judges (?). It's relentless! No wonder this person is exhausted! And I will offer that the outcome of the elections seem to make very little difference - an illusion of democracy?
