    There are worse things in our daily lives. Like the giant pothole you hit on the way to the store. Your neighbors dog shitting in your yard. The stack of TPS reports your asshole boss left on your desk. These have a direct negative impact on your life. Regardless of their agenda, politicians will always have less impact on us than our daily does of regular human bullshit.

    Pessimistic as that may be, there’s an upshot. As many times as that dog shits on your grass, you might watch your favorite baseball team win. Or for every TPS report, you have a real sincere laugh at the water cooler. Think about the scope. Keep it in perspective.

    Note: This is meant for the people who leaned hard into the move to Canada meme last time. Obviously, there are people who’s lives will be irrevocably be changed. Check your privilege and fight for those who lack it. People of conviction don’t hide.
