We haven’t even made it to January 20 (Trump inauguration). We already have major fires in our second largest city, terrorist attacks, talk of invading Greenland/Panama/Canada. almost no one talking about what we really need to do to cut carbon. Hospitals are full in my area and people talk about washing hands, but not about masking. I am already so weary. I don’t know what is going to happen after January 21.
Once that inauguration is through, I am not going to pay a lick of attention to media. I’d like to not hear about Trump, I will skim over his name and to give anyone an idea as to how much I avoid Trump, I mute any video/audio before a word is uttered from that shitty mouth of his.
People need to understand that they don’t control everything and everything is out of their control in some cases, like the wildfires. It’s a tragic event, yes, but things are going about as they can be in such a time.
If I get too wrapped up in everything going around me that I have no control in and how the media loves to shove a particular individual or a group of corrupted individuals down my throat, life will look ten times miserable.
I’m waging a tiny, ineffectual protest whereby I almost never say his name, and avoid mentioning him at all whenever possible. It’s never a good idea to give a raging narcissist the attention they crave. It’s an interesting writing challenge, and makes me feel a little better, at least.
Be sure to whitelist words like “assassin” just in case we actually get some good news - you won’t want to miss it!
