Even just talking to people about the issues can make a difference. We live in a society - engage your friends and family in rational and respectful conversation about the issues of the day. Show them that the "other" side are not the rabid fanatics that the partisan media portrays. Talk about real world examples - "my health insurance went up x% this year, why does it cost $y just for insurance and other countries get it for much cheaper?", " My commute takes x minutes to travel a few miles. Why aren't our politicians trying to reduce congestion?", "Flint has lead in the water, how do can we pay to replace aging infrastructure across the country?" I find it terrifying that people are responding to the world by just turning off the news. I get why they want to do it but it's not a pathway to a healthy society if we all bury our heads in the ground.
