I mean this in a serious way. Like, I’m so sick of the goddamn spectacle of these ghouls.

no i don’t; i identified with some of the thoughts you shared and shared my own along with my coping strategy in the hopes that it would help and it fell so flat that it was deleted by a moderator.
Well, I appreciate that you care. Coping is what we do about the inevitability of death and other things we cannot control at all. But this system an order was human made, and it can be human-unmade. Dare to dream.
US elections are just a money making scheme for the media industrial compex
