   If your political theories aren't actionable, it's probably time to move on and let it go. Sure, you're angry or sad. But this is reality and it must be dealt with realistically, not emotionally and with lots of social media.

   ..and don't come at me about privilege or self care. This is a lesson I learned spending my nights sleeping in the backseat of 1980 Datsun 200sx, trying to look like a pile of laundry so no one would break in.

     @quinn I hate to admit that in my mid-40s, I'm all out of political theories.

     It's pretty much "if an action produces the right outcome, I'm backing it."

     @slothrop that is a political framework for a lot of theories. Honestly there's a lot to drill down from there.

     It also really doesn't matter whose fault anything is. It matters who is coming for you or your people and how.
