I understand completely. I don't have any real answers. But the life poisoning thing sounds bad.
Here's what worked for me:
  • I moved to a much less insane area
  • I spend time with people and call some of them friends, who were NOT necessarily completely based in the covid era. Who may have gotten vaxxed. I judge them somewhat, in my head. But I realize that people who can withstand that kind of social pressure are few and far between. I appreciate my independent-minded friends more than ever. I did lose some previously good friends who were completely into the propaganda. Just don't want to talk to them anymore.
  • Even in the covid era, I worked hard to get out there and join the protesters, the people holding rallies (tiny, maybe) about unmasking kids. I'm very glad for that.
