The Republicans are going to fill a vacant Supreme Court seat 40 days before the election, when four years ago they said ten months before Election Day was "too soon" to even hold hearings on a nominee? Whatever. I don't care.
They're going to take away the pre-existing conditions clause from the ACA? I'm on Medicare now - doesn't affect me. I don't care.
They're going to encourage more barriers to if not outright bans on abortion? I'm a guy and therefore don't have a uterus. I don't care.
I don't have kids in the school system, I don't own a small business, and I'm not a war veteran. So I don't care about all the politics surrounding those issues.
I'm also white, so there's a whole lot of other things coming down the pike that don't affect me so I don't care.
Lou Reed once said "Show me an issue and I'll show you a tissue, and wipe my ass with it." I don't care.
Our democracy has been hacked and the electoral process perverted? I always doubted elections were "open and honest" anyway, and would only have lived through so many presidential terms and election cycles anyway, so I don't care.
The coronavirus is raging out of control and Americans are armed to the teeth? Fanatical evangelicals are turning our government into a theocracy? The entire western US nearly burned to the ground, the south will be uninhabitable in a few years, the coastline's rising, and more hurricanes are on the way? What can I do about it? I don't care.
Call it "compassion fatigue," call it "crisis burnout," call it whatever you want. I don't care what you call it, cause I don't care about shit anymore.
Enjoy the shithole you made of our country. Or don't. Your choice. I don't care.
