I lived through 2017-2021. Where people just discussed the man all day every day, clips, media, flooding every square inch of the internet. And then after he left office, we still had to talk about him all day for some reason? I've had filters in place for all things Trump for going on 5 years now. It's absolutely lovely. Sure, plenty still gets through, but at least my content experiences aren't utterly saturated. (And for those unaware, DU has filter features for keywords. I put every permutation and nickname for Trump in there)
Just because the circus is in town doesn't mean I have to attend.
Reading a few news articles for five to ten minutes gives me enough information for awareness. Hours of overpaid pseudo journalists repeating, opining, and speculating about what I already know sounds so tedious. I imagine it's what hell is like for the slothful. Like a perverse Ludovico's Technique that people volunteer for.
Just a general pass.
