I’m just so fucking done of watching both sides slouching their way to what they think is their preferred authoritarian regime.

I’m tired of the chattering classes and their sycophantic watchers on social media playing fucking musical chairs of what is just and right and what is deplorable.

I’m fucking done of one side bringing a new hammer to hammer down what it perceives as its enemies, and the other side decrying it – until it’s their fucking turn with the hammer. I’m fucking done of no one thinking it’s time to put the fucking hammer down.

The Wife, bless her, is not political. She doesn’t follow things like I do. I’m really thinking I need to emulate her. Just focus on the things that make me happy. My writing, my guns, my anime, my geek culture.

At this point, I need to take a step back. I’m snoozing some folks on FB and trying to spend less time there. My “chattering class” podcasts I will ignore for a bit. While I may scan headlines, about the only politics I want to follow these days is local. Keep an eye on local issues because – and I know someone is going to give me shit for writing this – knowing how my county voted on trash collection has much more impact to my life than someone famous being murdered.

I’m fucking done. Time to go watch a kawaii rom-com while cleaning my Bren and listening to Sabaton.
