I’ve been coming to Daily Kos less and less because all there is is despair. The diary on the front page about Europe falling into far right rule has done me in entirely. I waited patiently through COVID for some kind of hope for the future, but Daily Kos will tell me the planet is dying and there’s nothing we can do about it and we’ll all fall under authoritarian rule soon.
I’m absolutely not kidding when I say I wonder what the point of even living is. I don’t know what happened to the fighters and the movers around here. It’s all despair now. And after today’s visit, I feel like giving in. I lost all desire to create art, or talk with friends, or anything.
How does anyone cope with this? My only way is to stay away from here and block right-wing news sites from the MSN feed (which I can’t get rid of on my computer). Social media used to be fun, and thanks to Elon Musk it isn’t anymore. “Get out” doesn’t do any good, because I just end up coming back. “Get away from the computer” sounds more and more like “Bury your head in the sand.”
This isn’t much of a diary, but it’s all I have anymore. I’m worn to a nub. I’m going to keep voting and supporting Democrats, but I’m losing faith that there’s anything good to look forward to.
