POLITICS IS…FASCINATING?

I NEVER though I’d say this, but I’m becoming intrigued—almost fascinated—with politics. 

The chaos and craziness of this past US election season has dragged me back into politics, an area I grew to intensely dislike over the decades I worked for the state of Oregon. Saw the hallway deals and general lack of integrity and truthfulness in how this system worked, though there were some shining examples of statesmen (and women).

The election this past November pushed me to face the fact if I didn’t like the way things were going, I needed to pull my head out and make sure my voice was heard. I haven’t taken a deep dive head first into politics, but I’m inching my way into these murky waters.


With many breaks to read positive news of people helping people and cuddling with my dogs, I’m also reading more articles and watching more videos of what’s going on in politics. Sometimes it’s difficult to find some semblance of truth, and sometimes I find out interesting information—like how to replace the president, which is outlined in Amendment XXV of the U.S. Constitution. I won’t spoil the surprise if you haven’t heard this. Look it up or watch this video from GQ with Keith Olbermann <https://www.facebook.com/pg/gq/videos/?ref=page_internal>. I found it fascinating, not a word I generally associate with politics.
