    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.
