Our Midterm Election: When Outcome is a brutal reality pill to be choked-down.
When you consider how many people remain in abusive relationships that don't emotionally meet their needs, it's easy to see why far too many people wanna keep the political Devil they know, and continue voting accordingly!
Change is always scary, because it prompts feelings of destabilization, and we ALL wanna avoid that, don't we? Change cannot occur, unless we're willing to accept and adapt to alterations that occur in our status quo for a little while.
Humans dream about change in their love life, their place of residence, and even their health condition, but resist it like the plague~ because they're afraid they'll be uncomfortable for a bit, while they adjust to what's NEW, rather than what's FAMILIAR.
History has shown, humans can adapt to literally ANYTHING. We even learn to love people who abduct and treat us badly (Stockholm Syndrome). It's likely why people stay as long as they do, with tormenting/toxic lovers or partners.
Is it not clearer to us then, why half of American citizens seem to disregard the fact that their cost of living has escalated by 2 - 300% since Joe Biden took office and implemented anti-American policies that have grossly undermined the US economy and its people?
Still, we can't help but marvel at our constitutional freedoms being usurped and non-criminals being incarcerated, while thieves, drug smugglers, property destroyers and murderers pay no penalty for their horrific misdeeds and crimes against society.
Incidentally, planning for a safer or "greener" tomorrow is well and good, unless millions lose their lives while trying to survive the terrible living conditions and "kitchen table" issue sacrifices they must make in the interim! We cannot plan for our children's brighter future, if we're not able to feed and house them, TODAY.
I guess it doesn't matter to anyone, until these Real Life issues affect them DIRECTLY~ which is the clearest example of those who lack basic EMPATHY for others~ and as the age-old saying goes: Ignorance is bliss.
I was politically ignorant most of my life. Just couldn't be bothered with Affairs of State. All that's changed now, and I literally cannot stand the injustices that are being perpetrated on the American public.
In attempting to give the benefit of the doubt to these gullible folks, I just have to accept they're shortsighted and naive~ but I've always had a low threshold for incompetence and ignorance.
Thus, I will not go quietly into THIS night, while witnessing governmental greed, chicanery, chaos and ruin, and maybe YOU shouldn't either.
