Not many of the Faithful will openly renounce the faith – but I’ve noticed, especially starting this summer, that my once reliably liberal relatives and acquaintences seem to all have become extremely apolitical. They simply don’t want to talk about it at all. They’ll talk about sports, or weather, or entertainment, but politics they are just dropping out of. They don’t want to hear about it, period.

Not only will they almost certainly not vote in the next election, I wouldn’t be surprised if most of them don’t show up to vote for several elections, if ever again. They are totally disheartened and demoralized. They now think it is all pointless and meaningless."
