I have seen plenty of spouts scared about the presidential election and it genuinely makes me worried about folks down here. You're being bombarded with bad news constantly, in papers and social media, so I wanted to remind everyone that it's OK to disengage! Especially when extreme fear-mongering about your LGBT and immigrant neighbors has become the norm. Please take a step back and remember that a lot of those people are your public workers, your librarians, your students and even your grandkids, who are trying to live as happily and healthily as you. They aren't demons, they're community.
