Thanks for this. One of the biggest upsides of spiritual work (at least in my experience) is that it is much easier to tune out of politics and popular culture. I am shielded partly by my banishing rituals, divinations, and discursive meditation. There is also an age factor of IDGAF -- getting old is a net positive in that area.
Agree with you though about how disappointed I am with Trump. All the lower economic 80% of the American people want is to be able to afford pet food and paper towels, and now we've got a new slippery slope of an excuse for illegals to stay (one thing leads to another) as well as a war with Iran. I knew things were going south when DOGE was kneecapped because Trump and Musk cannot get along. There are rumors that Israel threatened to release Trump's own pedophile tape. I used to think everybody celebrity, powerful person, and politician being compromised in child porn/snuff schemes was conspiracy theory. All signs point to it being conspiracy fact. Le sigh. Things are better than they would have been under Harris, but this is still garbage.
Oddly, my meditations and spiritual work have afforded me glimpses of my future lives. When this incarnation is framed as a small and temporary blip in a country that is falling apart, it doesn't carry as much weight. Politics are always a crapshow and always will be. You just have to focus on you while being glad you aren't stupid enough to be a celebrity or a politician!
