I dont really feel like i have any choice but to tune this stuff out 98% of the time. Like it or not I live here and I still need to go to work and do normal every day things to not die and help my pets also not die, so constantly eating shit by obsessing over this crisis on the regular just is not viable. I AM obsessing over it on the regular, I'm just at *the point where I have to start trying not to.
A lot are tuning out. WA state saw the lowest voting rates since the 1930s during the 2023 election. (Though TBF, there was nothing really big on the ballot. Mostly local elections, which tend to get low turnout.)
