      The last three elections had the highest voter turnout in recorded American history. This isn’t a voting problem anymore, because our voting system, our very democratic process, has been compromised with social manipulation and leveraged against us.

      We will not rush the polls and fix this.

      We don’t necessarily need to do an armed insurrection to fix this, but we have to get a LOT more active and a LOT more involved in our local leadership and representation, we have to argue a LOT more with our shitty uncle who gets all his news from Newsmax and nobody ever pushes back on him. We have to fight ICE in the streets and post it to social media and make resistance cool. We have to stop buying shit. Not a dumbass protest against a single company or product, just start saving your damn money and stop wasting it on games and booze and drugs. Seriously, take the money OUT of their hands. Start getting healthy, active and smart.

      It will take generations to fix this, but it starts now with you getting up and walking somewhere and telling a total stranger “I can’t believe how much we pay in taxes and they couldn’t lower the price of groceries!” No wokescolding, no lectures, just do everything you can to make people mad at the actual enemy, the corporations and the wealthy.

              Trying to fight apathy here is like swimming against a current of pure laziness and despair.

              Ya’ll need to take some walks and eat a salad.
