Been there. Not the Trump voter part, but the spending-hours-days-weeks-months- down-a-rabbit-hole. Hope he drinks plenty of water and takes care.

The spring comment is valid.

From what I understand, household gods were very common — personal traditions about a small god that perhaps your family worshipped for generations and had a small shrine to for protection. Some of these were picked up and developed into more general purposes for a larger audience.

The Romans in particular also had a habit of picking up local deities for a larger pantheon, in these cases less of choosing gods, it was more like reducing some gods with very elaborate lore down to just a few specific traits. Though of course some gods were invented by storytellers on the spot and picked up.

Why. Whyyy. Why is this man at the wheel??

I mean I know why, it’s because no one told gramps he’s too senile to drive, but why are we sitting in the back seat??

You’re not wrong, but this man has already clearly accepted that things may go wrong one day. He’s decided that taking a stand is still worth the effort. And since we know there will be a smear campaign, posting what he’s doing alongside a reminder that his efforts are legal may at least slow down that campaign.
