7. I'm less doom and gloom that many

I see a lot of people saying that if the Republicans win this year that America will be dead and we will transform into a fascist dictatorship and no one will be able to stop it. I don't think things are that bad but we are in an era where white supremacy has taken hold again, like the 1960s, 1920s, 1880s, etc. I think we will overcome it, as we have before, but the sooner the better. A Republican victory this year will just prolong this klan nonsense and the sooner we can beat it back down the stronger our country will be.

So I do think it's ok to be zen about this election. It's very important and a Republican win would be extremely bad but I don't think it's the end of the world as some people think. It just means our current suffering will be needlessly prolonged. No point in being a nervous wreck about it but God I hope we don't have to deal with many more cycles of MAGAism.
