I know it’s not just me. We pretty much all have some family/friends caterwauling for Kamala (a family member, just today assured everyone on her FB that $750 is just a stop-gap for the hurricane victims, rah rah, cheer leading for the wrong side, just like clockwork). So this is deflating for me to see, even though I believe I know more than she does. So I think I just figured out a coping mechanism which may help me to keep this junk in perspective for one more month - and maybe it will help you too?

I will consider this family member to be like a broken toaster, which only knows how to burn toast until it is rendered completely irrelevant… I cannot fix the toaster; I can tolerate scraping off the black gunk a little while longer. There is no sense in yelling at the toaster if it burnt my toast yet AGAIN. I will try to understand this is broken, and I am not going to be able to fix it, so I will just try to tolerate the black junk while I sit here and figure out what happens next.

Thank you for this, it will definietly help.
Blessings to you!
