One of the big outcomes for me personally after this week is to trust my gut more than data and anecdotes. I knew this would happen, I just did not want to admit it that it could happen. Another is to take less interest in politics than before because it’s causing serious mental health issues for me, and I must be focussed on my personal health and family over anything else, because as white Americans and a good majority of other POC told us, its profit over lives. So yeah I plan to reduce my political interest in the next several months. No more stressing around my friends here on whom they should vote for. They got eyes, they can very well research. It’s distressing when a few people ping you after the election and ask “what is project 2025? I know you sent something before but I ignored it. I just voted whoever you told me to man”. I dont deserve to carry the burden and stress of informing people around me because the are living a chill life and I am not. So yes I am going to start focusing on I, me, myself more than try to save something that I know (trusting my gut) Americans dont want saving.
