Can’t take it anymore.

I know it’s only been two weeks, but I have had to delete all of my news sources from my phone, for my own sanity. I don’t want to hear any news anymore. None of it is good. Every day is so much worse than the day before it! Just let me collect my pension, and you guys can keep the country. Turn it into whatever Christian Nationalist, autocratic , Xenophobic amusement park you want. Just deport me to any functioning democracy with sane leaders you want, and I’m good. I’ll even give you an Elon Musk “Roman salute” on the way out.

i had for a couple days and i came back to it today and regret it immensely. it's important to stay informed and take action but you have to protect yourself too

@Frostcloud I usually tried to be informed too, but lately I don’t see the point. Knowing just angers me more, and it’s not like Trump is going to accidentally do something good. If it’s not about the midterms or Trump’s death, I’m not sure there’s much I really want/need to know.

@RockerDad this is called "shock and awe"

throw so much awfulness at once people feel paralyzed

@Frostcloud there’s certainly no lack of that.

@Frostcloud I’m just saying that there are plenty of other industrialized nations that don’t have any of this insanity, and they even have better healthcare to boot!
