On this super lighthearted after-party, Rebecca and I talk about the previous podcast episode, and the state of things in this year's presidential race. Sorry in advance, but we get super silly and occasionally a little loose lipped when it comes to some people out there anymore, but I think sometimes ya just got to get all that frustration out! Feeling a sense of renewed hope and lightness after Kamala Harris joins the race, we feel a restored sense of cautious optimism, and that, perhaps we won't sink into the grips of tyranny, oppression, and fascism afterall! if only people as a whole started caring and paying attention! Do some people even pay attention to anything important anymore?! Staying busy and ill-informed is exactly what they want us all to do, so please America, don't get too busy or bored to lose our democracy and rights! We have fun here, and we think it'll put a smile on your face as well.

Yes I promised less politics, but this is huge news! So before we move on to bigger and better things, or at least more fun and positive things, we wanted to talk about what all this means, and ask the question; how do ordinary Americans who depend on average jobs and who are working class go for this right wing nonsense?! How do people get tricked into not seeing the wealth agendas and the hate in the right wing world? Or is that the point?! We'll talk about the significance of Joe Biden stepping down, Kamala Harris likely stepping up, and what the lunatic fringe are saying about it all!

At the end of the day, we don't get political to be divisive or to hurt anyone, but because, for the health, safety, and welfare of ordinary people, it matters! We must find a way to stay activists and advocates for the right values, while allowing ourselves still to be chill, to live a fun and normal life, and to enjoy this imperfect life the best that we can. Life is short, the world is filling up with weirdness, so finding balance, humor, and happiness is the key! Enjoy this funny but super important and hopefully enlightening episode.

We're reluctant political junkies! We love activism, analysis, and trying to educate and relate to people about socio-political matters, and to shape our world into a positive place that best represents our good values. But I think many people nowadays (not you guys) are just uneducated, naive, or tuned out to the the greater agendas going on out there in America's political landscape. So, in times where many people use politicas to argue, divide, and devalue others, we feel like it's become much more difficult as kind hearted teachers and lovers to get people to see what we're really all about, and what we're working towards.

So, when politics gets to be a little too much for us, we step back and enjoy all the other aspects to life that we love and enjoy, from hiking and the outdoors, to movies old and new, music, metal, and concerts, to our guilty pleasure in the paranormal! We love the MCU, Star Wars, Star Trek, and the list goes on and on! The last thing we want to do is put people off or inadvertently upset or repel our friends and family just because we feel strongly about social matters. We want to educate and empower, not nauseate!

So on this episode we talk about how too much politics and too much info can not only affect our mental health in a negative way, but it can spoil relationships when people don't understand when you're coming from a good place, and what to do about it when everything just starts feeling shitty, and your inner child is dying, and you just need your happiness, relaxation, and joy back! Serenity now!
