God damn my deep depression from the start of this has morphed into unmitigated rage
Genuine question here: how do ya'll control your hatred for Trump and his supporters? My therapist recently told me "Hatred is like drinking from a poison chalice and expecting the other person to die." I found it very profound because yeah, my supreme loathing for these societal dreggs has done absolutely nothing but drive me into a deeper and darker mental place
Also as someone with three adopted Chinese sisters fuck every single person who ever refers to this as the "China virus"
The ones I can't cut out of my life 100%, I don't follow and when I have to interact with them I don't say a damn thing about politics. Do not engage, do not deal with on any significant level.
I don't subscribe to the thought that talking with them will bring them around at this point. If you're a Trump supporter, you have willfully ignored the last 4 years. Something in your brain has broken. I know two Trump Supporters. One is a Fox News devotee who will never vote for anything but Republican, and one is a QANON "Save our children" true believer who tried to convince us at the last family gathering about the Wayfair nonsense. Fortunately, in my swing state of Ohio, I know of a non-voter that is going Biden, a Trump voter that's not voting, and another Trump voter that's going Biden. I feel better knowing at least anecdotally he's getting less than last time here.
