I promised my online friends that I would forward no more political messages and articles, nor compose further comments on the sickening state of political-socio-economic life in the US of A. We are inundated with continuing ignorance. If the majority of American voters need to support their oppressors and to live in fear and ignorance, so be it.
I communicate with a tiny minority of caring, thoughtful, informed people. We do what what we can to advance justice and equity. For me, there will be no more agonizing sleeplessness and expended energy trying to persuade "know-nothings" that they are their own, and everyone's worst enemies.
A martyr is not always a suicide bomber. Still, it is not worth another iota of energy trying to stop tsunamis with a finger to the wind. Que sera, sera, darnit!
