Midterm elections

The midterms are this Tuesday and I'm not getting my hopes up.  Yes, I'm choosing to be cynical and not get my hopes because of how painful 2016 presidential election was.  I was in so much anxiety back then, I felt like I was in the twilight zone.  I was so taken aback by my opinion that trump was such a douchebag and since it was so obvious to me, I couldn't understand how everyone who voted for him couldn't see it.  It was almost like the black/blue vs white/gold dress picture.  there was no way for me to see that it wasn't white/gold, but my bff totally saw it black/blue.  We couldn't blame each other for how our brains chose to interpret what was in front of us...we literally saw two different things.  This is how I think is the only way I can accept anyone still on the republican side.  They obviously see what I cannot and I can't hate them or be mad at them for it.  What I can do is try to communicate what I see and then listen to what they see, and then see if we can come to a common  understanding.  How tough is that?  How much work is that?  Believe me I don't want to do that work, I've done it a little bit but I bristle at the thought.  The other way to approach it, which I don't recommend, is to believe that climate change is gonna take care of all of this anyways, so might as well just try to be as happy and to be kind to the people I can touch in my circle of being.  I think thats the healthier way, even if it might be the more cowardly way.  I don't know.  In any case I can't wait for Tuesday to come and go...so that I can move on with my life.
