A quick look around the Internet today finds that all of the politically-fixated regular citizens are every bit as whipped up and frenzied about things as ever, and over the predictable partisan issues in predictably partisan ways. Tell me how someone voted, and I'll almost certainly be able tell you what bugs 'em the most -- or vice-versa.
It's good that so many people care so very deeply. While it is true that there's a pretty good correlation between just how riled up a person is and how far removed from reality their take on things appears to be (and it holds true no matter which of the two big parties they favor), that's a small price to pay the lack of apathy.
I hope.
Wildfires and natural disasters have displaced my political outrage until further notice.
