Remember the days when waking up didn’t come with the anxiety of anticipating a political crisis? When our social media feeds were filled with adorable puppy pictures and nostalgic ‘80s memes? Those simpler times came to a jarring halt when that certain individual left a deep mark on U.S. history.
Since January 20, however, I finally feel a sense of relief. My mornings no longer begin with the dread of checking the news for the latest catastrophe. I’m no longer nauseated by unpresidential tweets or consumed by rage. The adults are back in charge, and it feels like a breath of fresh air.
This newfound calm doesn’t mean we can revert to our previous indifference towards politics. There’s too much at stake. I must admit, I was fortunate enough to tune out political issues before 2016. I had no clue about Cabinet members or U.S. policy on various topics (and let’s be honest, some issues are still quite complicated). But the events of the last few years have been transformational. There’s no going back.
The past four years have opened my eyes in countless ways. People have revealed their true selves. Those I thought were decent turned out to be quite selfish. Issues I once dismissed as mere politics are inextricably linked to fundamental human rights. I’ve come to understand that politics affect everyone, not just the elite. They are not topics to avoid at dinner; they shape real lives. Politics require our attention year-round, not just during elections.
We cannot afford to slip back into complacency. We must maintain the passion we’ve felt over the last four years. The world didn’t magically turn perfect on January 20, though it did take a significant step away from despair. Challenges like white supremacy, discrimination against the LGBTQ community, and income inequality persist, and there’s much work ahead. For those of us with privilege, we have a responsibility to fight for change.
Do we deserve a break from the political turmoil of the last few years? Absolutely. We need to rest and recharge to avoid burnout. So take a moment to breathe deeply, then roll up your sleeves and get back to work.
