Let me know what you think!Watch on Youtube! Sad Girls Go to Heaven Merch Subscribe to POV+ In this episode of POV You're My Therapist,Divine takes a deep dive into the current political climate. We talk about the overwhelming feeling of political burnout, the emotional toll it can take, and how you can still stay engaged without losing yourself in the chaos. Most importantly, we discuss why voting in this election is crucial and how much impact it can have on the future of our communities.We explore the rise of right-wing conservatism, a movement often characterized by calls for smaller government and traditional values, but one that also tends to resist policies promoting diversity, equality, and women’s rights. This ideology often opposes progressive movements for reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ protections, and racial justice, framing them as threats to the social order. On the other side, we discuss how Democrats advocate for more inclusive policies, aiming to expand healthcare, protect civil rights, and address inequality.We also break down the Overton Window, explaining how political discourse can shift public opinion over time, making once-extreme ideas more mainstream. How does this affect you?
