Do I have to? It’s such a frightening place.
For myself, I’ve nearly given up on national or even state political parties or politics in general. I mean, I vote, but that’s about it, other than the occasional angry letter to my gun-toting, white, Protestant Congressmen. I live in the deepest of the deep South USA, so my efforts were fairly futile on that front. Instead, I’ve gotten much more involved in local politics, campaigning for school board candidates in particular. Actual change has resulted, and that’s really empowering.
