I disagree. It's much better for people to be more engaged than less engaged. In fact, that's what prominent politicians on both sides of the aisle want - for everyday people to stop researching, stop caring, be distracted, busy themselves with trying to get through life. You ought to have passion about this. I'm not saying you need to go over the edge, but you ought to care. It ought to matter. A lot.
And I believe it does matter. No the world won't end, but the country will move in one direction or the other. The president will articulate that vision or forestall it, depending on how congress shakes out. It does matter who wins.
Our liberty and prosperity are chipped away a little at a time. Our social fabric is unwinding. Life is getting harder for many. Moral order is vanishing. We are less safe. Collectively, we need to pay more attention and care more about all of this, not less.
