I just try to keep my own house in order, and it's "in order" now more than it ever has been in my life. My father, a staunch Republicans good, Democrats bad, voraciously anti-union type who told my mother on their wedding night that the only reason he married her was to avoid getting drafted had a horrendous final five years that's the stuff of a Stephen King novel. My mother, on the other hand, was raised by two earnest teenagers during the tail end of the depression and the WWII years, and she always tried to see the good in people. She worked until she was 75, and when she passed she left a nice nest egg for all of her five children, and the memorial service for her in late February 2017 was jammed to overflowing. I wanna finish like her no matter what happens politically.

In my opinion, thats the best way to go about it, because for the most, it just doesnt matter beyond our vote to get all passionate and emotional over politics all the time like some people do. This mentality as you mentioned as well really hit home for me last year as I was diagnosed 14 months ago with Leukemia in which last summer had a bone marrow transplant. Definitely changed my outlook on things on whats really important, and stuff out there that isn't that I have no control over.

For myself tho, I dislike both parties as I am moderate. And to be honest, I don't know who would be worse for the U.S., the far-left liberals or the far-right conservatives, obviously for different yet damaging reasons.
