Do you still have faith in the political process of your country? Ross Perot had a good thing going in the '90s, is it time to bring it back? Vote blue no matter who, but this time harder? Join the Republicans? Abandon hope? Something else?

Watching what's happening in your country is concerning, I hope the opposition party has a plan but so far I have not seen one. Hence the question.

I've lived in Tennessee all my life. It's completely stifling. Spent my whole life feeling like I'd been shoved in a tiny box with no air holes. But it's gorgeous out here, and I love the mountains, and if I leave, that means one other queer person feels a little more stifled. Why do homophobes get to keep the mountains, anyway? So I stayed.

Even I'm thinking about kissing this country goodbye. Goddamn.
