A sense of humor is sometimes the only weapon against the ugliness of politics. Anger and fear usually just lead to hatred. And hatred of any kind will get you no where. My sense of humor is, by no means, inaction. But you have to charge full-on with a smile and it will help to be an optimist even through the ugliest of times. You can't use your sense of humor as a dismissal, but instead as an airbag to help yourself through the impact. That's just my attitude towards it.
