I don’t share publicly who I vote for either. When I was younger I would share how I felt about current events and culture wars because I wanted someone to pat me on the head and tell me I was right. What a rush! Being validated by my peers! 😂

I still love validation, but I can get that from within and from a small number of people who are close to me now.

Well said and amen. There also is a kingdom that is not of this world in the sense of how temporal power works (through elections or successions or whatever), but is also very much of this world in the sense of how to be happy and loving and generally amazing. Regardless of the results today, may we all—since we are part of both systems—be amazing and love those we temporarily don’t like. Peace.
