Politics was never my thing but stopping malignant narcissist sociopaths was and is. Hence my political alertness when the former guy won.
That said, following the 5 yr trial of my psychopath sibling who murdered our mother, I came home & boxed up piles of legal docs, emails, etc

I took the laptop that contained the entire nightmare - backed it up & placed it away on a shelf. I removed anything in my house that reminded me of her. I chose healing over bitterness & resentment. I haven't "forgotten" any of it - I charge the laptop periodically but never

on trial but otherwise could care less what he's doing. This keeps me sane, anchored. It's a spot where the negative doesn't rule the day & I'm able to breathe, exhale & find joy back in my life. People who are healing from a tragedy or want to identify as a victim/survivor know
it's the only way to find peace. It's not that you "forget" the past, it's that it sits on a shelf or in a closet where YOU define when & where it comes out. YOU control the impact it has on your daily life. When you finally stop taking it out & examining it every day, you are
able to find positive things to focus on - worthwhile causes to be a part of. The accountability & consequences is theirs to bear & what's yours is the ability to change things.
Find peace. Be kind. Find joy. Be happy. Let the rotten feed upon itself & steer clear of it.
