[QUOTE="CeeCee72, post: 441427, member: 5055"] Bringing back this thread because of a major personal change that proves that, I at least, am tired of talking about it all. For the last 8 years, my career has been political writer and analyst. I focused mostly on local issues and was damn good at my job. Over the last year or so, my mental health began to suffer. I was constantly depressed or angry or downright despondent. For about the last three months, the realization of how deeply national politics has infected our local politics finally drove me over the edge. None of our local officials are talking about issues or trying to solve our community problems. They're all screaming MAGA or Pride or whatever else. I couldn't take it anymore. I quit my job and accepted a position writing about the history and cultural impact of country music of all things. My life is a lot less stressful since making that decision. It's so much more pleasant praising Miranda Lambert or maligning Florida Georgia Line than having to pay attention to politics everyday just to pay the mortgage. [/QUOTE]
