Skepticism is healthy, but it can quickly snowball into general apathy, and that is one of the most toxic things ever.
I can’t blame anyone for getting burn out on the whole damn system but it’s what those that benefit from the status quo are counting on. Much easier to muddy the water and get you to opt out entirely than it is to win you over with the facts.
For 12 of the last 30 years, the presidency has been held by someone who didn’t get the popular vote, and gerrymandering and our fucked up system means a half dozen people in Bumfuck, Flyover can decide whether people can afford ramen or the fancier bulk pasta and sauce. And all the while the world is burning and the rich motherfuckers get even richer.
I don’t blame people for their apathy. The world is absolutely fucked, and our society has painted itself into more corners than a room could possibly have.
a healthy dose of skepticism never hurt anyone
