1. Barely anyone will discuss or mention it beyond "Oh God, don't talk about it", and this office is about 99% Soshlyst Libtards, but we're "super super busy" (we actually are).
2. In particular, the Millenials want nothing to do with it; they can't tolerate it emotionally. My stepdaughter is the same; she said she wouldn't be able to get to sleep. This is the same woman who watches rape and murder procedurals almost exclusively on TV.
3. It's easy to ignore; we're on the West Coast and barely anyone leaves the office before 9 pm EST. The show was mostly over by then (except for the best part: Schiff's summaries and closing arguments).

I watched Schiff's closing arguments on the computer.
