I checked out of the news during the Trump presidency, it was just constant crazy negativity. I feel much better for it. Anything important enough I hear about somewhere, and I vote responsibly and act responsively.
How can you vote responsibly if you don't know what the politicians and parties are doing and saying?
It's pretty easy to figure out their platforms from the major news that filters through.
Yeah. You can feel yourself hurting inside when watching that stuff. People think they need to pay attention to it, but they don't. Its all manufactured negativity and they are really good at making it feel bad.
Sometimes I wonder if there are evil spirits and if they consume this negative energy being created in people. It would explain a lot, why our world is so evil.
Maybe human beings are being fed on spiritually, just like we consume other physical beings for food.
Who knows.
