3 min readJun 5, 2025

Exhausted? You’re not alone. But you’re still needed.

Let’s be honest: by 2025, most of us are burned out from politics.

The lies, the scandals, the extremist legislation, the endless election cycles — it’s exhausting. And if you’ve felt like tuning out, turning off notifications, or pretending it’s not happening, you’re not alone.
