I can't talk you down sadly.
I’ve been watching this shit show since Ronnie petulantly pulled the solar panels off the roof of the White House. We’ve been ruled by moronic petroleum clowns for as long as I’ve been politically aware.
Brief flashes of respite, but overall it’s been pretty bleak politically.
