I am personally exhausted from this last election. I didn’t really believe the red wave kool aid, but I did not think it would come down to the elite GOP in DC openly sending monies elsewhere. I have no desire to even begin talking 2024 when the distraction covers all the harm both parties have done to this Nation.

Every move is politically motivated and calculated within the Uniparty. Right now, I am going to take a break. I turned off the tv media in 2020 and I could still keep up. I trust no political establishment any longer. My trust is and always should have been in God.

I'm with you Laurie. I have to find a different way to get through whatever time I have left on earth. Certainly I never thought I would be living through such a decline in the US (I'm only 55) but it appears that's where we are at this point. My goal is to cultivate beauty, cultivate some silence and try to orient my life more towards G-d incarnate in the person of Jesus Christ.

I haven't completely figured out my plan going forward, but I can't do what I've done for the past 6 years. I'm exhausted and demoralized. The revelations wrought by these midterms deserve serious contemplation and at the end of the day I need to find a way to stay connected to my children (a few of whom have been swept up in the false promises of the world) and sustain our family. Maybe we'll be moving, maybe we'll be staying where we are, but my husband and I are focusing on creating a refuge for our children to which they can return after these tumultuous waves have washed over them.

I am the same way. I am almost 69, and the one thing that is eternal about the last decade is for many of us, our only hope is God. I now believe God is stripping away everything so we turn solely to Him. 2 of my 3 children have also drank the Leftist kool aid. They are successful and living the Liberal good life. I believe my purpose is now to stand strong in Him and bring my family back to the fold.

My husband and I were just saying that maybe this is all part of a process to get us all to realize our utter dependence on the One who made us and loves us best. It is not a pleasant process, that's for sure, but I know in my personal journey with G-d, he has reached me at some of my lowest points.

I don't do ANY MSM, not even our "right-leaning" local lite morning news. I refuse to engage in "bitch" sessions. I try to focus daily on doing good for others.

That's how I have (mostly) managed to remain eupeptic over the past four years.

Good luck!

All of your comments resonate with me. I am beyond frustrated and pretty much filled with rage, sadness and disbelief how much this country has deteriorated. I wasn't expecting anything out of the last election and I was not wrong. I will stay strong with God and try to live out the rest of my years with peace. Try to be a better person. I'm 61 and shouldn't be this tired but I will fight though until the very last chapter of my life.

I miss the days when “election season” was just a season, not years. Others may enjoy living in a constant state of political races, but I DO NOT. Tuning out, see you in October 2024, if we’re still here.

Also, the only thing I want the RNC to do is investigate election fraud.

Meanwhile, I’ll be living in reality, where our Lord is ultimately in charge, doing what I was created to do.

It's all an illusion to control the cattle. GOP, democratic party? One in the same.
