When You’re Politically Exhausted
Headlines lately have been dominated by the current White House’s actions, as have our twitter feeds. My twitter feed is now probably about 70% political, and I haven’t really followed many new politically-active folks. I find that people want to talk politics at work, at dinner, and at the dog park (happened this very morning; a lady shared her politics in explaining why she had named her dog George after President Bush). It does not end. Keeping up, keeping motivated, it is emotionally exhausting.
