That’s an awful big ability to focus to begin with

Or meetings.

I’m so fucking tuned out to how I used to be just one short year ago. I know it’s just a nonstop avalanche of fascism that I, as an individual, will not be better equipped to combat by following closer. I used to follow Congressional bills, debates, presidential speeches, etc.

Now my attention to national politics is utterly minimal and restricted to informing myself of only what I need to for the sake of local activism and keeping up with international politics (which I still follow fairly closely).

I’m still probably more tuned-in than most of the American electorate. But fuck, I can’t just watch every individual step of fascism going forward here on out. I’m close enough to blowing my brains out without that additional inducement.
