2026: The Year to Reset — Taking Back Our Lives, Not Just Our Politics | The Karel ShowThey say insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. For many Americans, the past several years have felt exactly like that.Donald Trump has made daily life exhausting for anyone who isn’t MAGA. Every day brings a new outrage. Every day he takes up more space in our heads. Every day the dark cloud he creates seeps into our lives, our relationships, and our sense of self.But here’s the truth: you can fly above those clouds. And above them, there is still sunlight.I’ve lived under that cloud for nearly a decade — watching a country spin out of control — and I’ve become someone I no longer want to be. Angry. Reactive. Consumed. Like Peter Finch’s character in Network, mad as hell and not willing to take it anymore.But rage alone doesn’t win. Purpose does.It’s time to be more like Stephen Colbert or Jimmy Kimmel — fully aware of what’s happening, but refusing to let anger hollow us out. It’s time for America to hit the hard reset.We can still take our country back — through elections, protests, Congress, and the courts. And if that fight fails, we face that reality when it comes. But we don’t live every day in fury while we wait.Yes, the economy is hurting people. Food prices are soaring. Violence fills the headlines. None of that is imaginary. But if we let Trump take our joy, our compassion, our humanity — then he wins something far bigger than an election.That ends now. For me.
