Didn't they know any liberal boomers?
I'd consider myself a semi-activist. Did they know any people like me? I have friends who also did activist stuff, too. Shoot, I could been doing more fun stuff; instead of what I did. But I had interests, and concerns to make things better for people; so I did stuff.

Do I get overwhelmed? Yes. I step away, then return.
I just spent like 2 1/3 days totally free of news - esp drumphf!. It was *wonderful*! I have art, music, crafts, Nature, sciences, TV & movie streaming m, and books to distract me; thank goodness!
But I did think of the poor Iranians going through extra hell bc of those bastards drumphf & bibi!

Back to DU, and the news again.
