I just don’t understand how you can not care about politics right now. I get it, you’ve given up on good things happening politically but how can you just… ignore it? How does one become okay not paying attention? I mean PRIVILEGE but HOW?
@tiarala I do get people who have competing priorities, or need self-care time. But we have a close friend who lives in the ‘highly impacted, underprivileged space’, and doesn’t give a hoot about any of it.

@tiarala my best guess is:
Local public education was intentionally gutted
Doesn’t believe voting has an impact
Avoids reading

I want to engage him but I’m at a loss

@nezumih same thing for the folks I’m seeing. I wish I could just not care. But unlike then my misanthropy can’t overcome my empathy.
