It is what it is. You can obsess about things over which you have no control: blind obedience to an authority figure, artificial threats manufactured by rhetoric, disinformation, misinformation and outright lies by the right wing media.
Or you can work on what you do have control over. Read news from multiple sources: trust but verify. Write letters to the editor, write elected officials (not that they will listen without a large campaign contribution attached, but if they do get enough mail on a topic it sometimes matters), give money to candidates you can support, volunteer to help candidates you can support, but most of all VOTE.
Standing on the sidelines is more likely to get you injured than getting into the game.
Sounds like a paraphrase from a famous quote. I wonder what the original was and who spoke it first. I recall a (hilarious and interesting) book about Capt. Mamert Stankiewicz quoting him as saying or writing something similar about his ailments, which may have dated somewhere 1950s or 60s or so? but he may well have paraphrased the famous quote himself.

Like many conditions, the length of his ‘fine’ will depend on his environments, i.e., natural, social, and political.

I’ll probably tell my doctor something like that when I see her in two weeks.

Hey, Jeff – you missed anti-Semitism; does that still rank as immoderate on the Stahler scale?

Umm other than volcanoes.. and that is melted rock, the “earth” is not melting. Ice, yes.. a natural progression of the last ice age.
