Popular/trending topics on the fediverse are stressing me out. I have been on the fediverse since 2017.
Which of the options below seems best?

You should boost, else I'll go with the idea that for close to nine years I've had the misapprehension people follow me to read what I post.

When I see news of the horror show down south, I divide the number of voters who chose against this by the sum of those who voted for the party responsible for this and those who chose not to vote because "things would still be the same otherwise".

I need not be reminded that millions did vote against it, nor that my friends voted against it. I might need to have challenged my view that the denominator in the above paragraph are happy with their nation as is.

The country where I lived for 23 years is not a place to learn discernment between ignorance and malice.

One look at the election vote statistics, including the percentage of those who did not vote, despite living through the administration of a known agent of chaos, convinces me a practical super-majority is fine with their current situation.

They can't say they didn't know.
They can't plausibly argue the tariffs would be implemented should the Democratic Party candidate have won.

I was charmed by my chat with a pen club member today, she namedropped John Fowles casually, I love that she didn't explain to me who he was, and that I didn't need to tell her what part of England Poole is.
Why do people disregard my reasonable (yes, send me my cheque; yes, follow through on your commitment) requests?
How does anything get done?
In case the #instance that isn't part of the #MastodonCovenant server ring is forever lost, I followed two accounts of people I know from a #snailmail server. One of them at least will undoubtedly recognize my handle.
Two instances in which I have accounts are inaccessible. Thank you, Good Orderly Direction, but my chosen miracle today is a winning multimillion dollar jackpot, not escaping the US news while getting my Mastojollies
