We all need to be like Luke Skywalker at the end of Star Wars IV.
The ONLY thing that matters at this point is voting, and bringing other like-minded people to the polls to vote--particularly if they've never voted before.
In those final moments in the Death Star trench in Star Wars, Luke Skywalker, to the shock of all of his colleagues, switches off his targeting computer. It is a distraction. The Force is with him, and he has only one single, focused goal in mind: put two proton torpedoes into that ray-shielded two-meter-wide thermal exhaust port located below the main port. NOTHING else in the galaxy matters. NOTHING else needs to be thought of, talked about, argued, or done.
My wife and I succeeded in getting three lifelong Republicans we know to vote in this election for Dems. One of them is voting for Beto down in TX. She never really liked Cruz, but she has always voted for him just "because". Well, not anymore.
If you have to take a break from the news for a while, do it. If you need to take a break from social media or even this website for a few days, do it. Just get out there and get the job done, The Force is with us all. Feel it.
