This is a hard question. To roll in the mud or stay out? I've decided to just keep reminding people we are neighbors, that we all are responding to the turmoil of the age in our own half-blinded and flailing ways. To keep striving for the Grace for others that I want extended to me. It's also the Fox vs. Hedgehog thing. If you see everything as a Hedgehog, you want a total, systemic answer to everything. Reality is usually too messy for such a blunt instrument- you need to be more like the perspective-seeking Fox.

You hit the nail on the head with so much. I love the description of our two party systems as creating “Frankensteins.” That’s so on point. Realizing I am doing a lot more to change the world for the better in my day to day life than in how I vote has been game changing and I’m a lot happier tuning out the constant media barrage.
