I did what I could.
Went to rallies, worked at a non profit to help the homeless, overcame my own disability to do so, explained to those I was close to how this outcome we are now living through is possible, then probable, then very likely.
Meanwhile, all my friends and family either fell further into the QAnon/MAGA cult, or acted like I was a hysterical, delusional, paranoid maniac.
All those bridges have been burned now, the immense disrespect and gaslighting shown by both sides, simultaneously, from opposite extremes, did a great job of alienating me from myself and from them.
I'll never speak to any of them of them again, all the catharsis I get is this here rant saying that they were and are the delusional ones, that I was right... as everything falls further and more rapidly into terminal decline.
Oh well, I guess.
At least I have my own self-respect.
