I'm not doing well psychologically and really appreciate writing and reading the responses. If I didn't have small children I could deal with it better. Its probably temporary but I feel like I don't trust anybody at the moment who is in the public sphere.
Trust your instincts. You've been trained for your whole life to not trust your instincts, but instead trusting politicians and journalists who don't have your well being or benefit in mind.
I went politically agnostic a long time ago. I support President Trump, because he's not been one of those people his whole life. I don't believe in Democrats, or Republicans. I distrust politicians as a breed. My instincts say they're all corrupt sleazebags who would sell any of us out, on any topic, for money and power.
I've yet to find my instincts are wrong. Learn to trust yours again. Learn to read behind the lines, look at what they don't want you to look at, and don't believe any of them at face value. Your beliefs, your instincts, your core are yours, and they can't take that away from you, they can only bamboozle you to give them away. There is nothing wrong with fighting city hall - or the Congress. There is nothing wrong with never trusting anything they say. That's far more healthy than just shouting bumper sticker slogans at people on media.
And most of all, limit access to them, and spend your time on healthy, productive things, like your children. You're gonna be fine. These are tough times, but we WILL survive them.
Thank you Pede. I was black pilled from about 2010 to March 2016 when I watched a live Trump rally in Cleveland Ohio and have had a lot of hope since that day. Perhaps I'm drained. I have young children too, its been really tough.
Same with a few young kids. I'm livid that months of their young lives were robbed from them. For a "pandemic" that's killed what 15 kids age 5 to 17? I stopped giving a damn what people think or say when discussing this virus.
I don't trust public officials but as a lifelong cynic I never did. To see supposedly normal people so eagerly embrace and believe this hysteria has been alarming. However there is mounting pushback here and less adherence to our idiotic mask mandate. Folks are tiring of it. There is light at the end of this long dark tunnel. Stay strong for your family!
thank you for your response. Not rambling.

I've had enough.

Thanks Pede. I am honestly encouraged to hear stories of places where things are getting better.
