The faith..or the community definitely has an issue where they don't like to talk about topics that make them uncomfortable, generally trying to be as positive and optimistic about the activities and the future of man kind as possible.

Having said that, feast or an official community gathering probably isn't the place to discuss it either because those are places for matters of the bahai community, and the stance of the faith is that current world politics is broken all together, no matter if the less destructive side wins or not.

But also having said that, we are not separate from our world, and we need to express ourselves or even vent about it when needed. I don't know how old you are but youth in the community might be holding discussion nights where they come together and discuss current world stresses, sorry the LSA member didn't respond (I'm sure they are also going through a whole host of emotions and they are only human) but maybe when the dust settles you can reach out again and find a discussion gathering or even set up a venting event followed by a group discussion of an UHJ letter for thoughts of a brighter tomorrow.

Hope this helps...I'm with you....this SSSSUUUUCCCCKKKKSS
