I love politics, and being involved in campaigns. This year though it has been more draining than usual for me. Local races have been the real drain, to be honest. The Republicans have been taken over by a bunch of hate mongering assholes. At least in Texas they have. I've been canvassing for almost 20 years and never had to deal with such jerks before when you accidentally are given a bad address.
