The important thing is that you’re aware of what’s going on, not your mental health.

Politics doesn’t ignore you so you must engage with it even if it makes you misanthropic and despondent.

Happiness will never exist, and you should take pride in your misery because it means you’re a good citizen and are paying attention.

Very very weird question, but how would you feel if someone gives you a footjob under the table at Applebee's, just like in the meme?

I have reasons to live beyond foot jobs.

But I am forced to play the ridiculous game of politics so I have no hope for the species.

No, just a patriotic citizen who’s learned a lot about how our government works.

I do get jealous of happy people sometimes though. Or is it envious?

It's both. I often wish that a lobotomy was available as an elective surgery so I could become dumb, ignorant, and blissfully unaware of (gestures broadly around) all this.

I would turn to different drugs to do this but they would affect my ability to have a job to afford a roof over my head and food in my belly.

As an alternative to drugs or performing at work?
