> The fatigue over American politics is real and this election cycle isn't offering unique or novel viewpoints from fresh candidates. The fatigue is real and it feels like campaigns begin as soon as the previous ones end. Like one continuous war. It also feels like the rest of life is somehow minimized by this. Energy goes to the political stuff and it becomes a part of people’s identity, instead of being something on the side. Not sure how to describe it accurately or how we escape that. Is it just an addiction?
