looks awkwardly at the next administration

I would hazard that's less unmedicated and more self medicated.

Putting the bar at tripping level aren't we?

So clarify what I can do. I vote, so that's out of the way.

Donate? With what money?

Help/run campaigns? With what time and/or money?

Be informed? I generally am and a fat lot of good it did.

Inform others? Not an influencer, so no reach. The few crazies I am adjacent to I either can't discuss things with because it'd be unprofessional and I don't want to lose my job or they drank deep of the Kool aid. And the non crazies are usually on my side even when I do have info they don't already know.

Take people to the polls? Everyone for whom I could offer such a service early voted.

So what power am I overlooking? I participate to the best of my ability and within my limited resources so what am I missing?

Edit: How shocking, no response, just a downvote.

I'd be shocked if that was possible. Though I wouldn't hate being able to do crafting/gathering from my phone.

Both obviously. I did my part and sanity lost in the US. I continue to have no meaningful power.

Our lives are also on the list to lose. The health and well-being of those that depend on us as well. Losing our chains is great if that's really all you have to lose.

The detachment is more of a defeatism issue. When you have zero power to affect change, what the hell else can you do but work through the day and try to not have a breakdown?

Mind you, I vote when that comes around, I just don't have the mental fortitude anymore to not be detached. Don't have the time or space to do more than that, which is rather by design I expect.

For them, hate is fun (or the closest approximation thereof). It all makes sense after that.

Conservatives are really anti conservation for some strange reason.

That and The Onion could never outperform info wars in terms of absurdity... Still...

Greta Thunberg, swedish environmental activist and a favorite hate watch of conservatives.

It's only controversial for those who are being called out on being terrible people on a moral level.
