I stopped watching news about Trump and stopped entering Trump threads and I feel outstanding

[UnQuantized]

I've been doing the same but his bullshyt finds a way to break through

 

[Sir Richard Spirit]

News is much more digestible when you have two separate opinions.. This is why I like Breaking Points and Rising. I also wouldn’t suggest watching Fox, but I would suggest some republican print. Nothing wrong with balancing you’re position..

I want to. I need to. But this isn't Trump 1.0. I just can't shake that we're gonna hit an event horizon and people are going to need to act. I don't want that to surprise me.

But I do need to consciously take more breaks from it, because to your point largely there's nothing we can do. That inaction can drive you insane.

I was visiting my aunt and uncle and my aunt said she needed to pack a go-bag and said to make sure I have mine packed just in case.


It felt a little too real when she said that.

I don't even know if it's the actual news itself, because there is nothing wrong with being informed, but people have adopted this strategy of intentionally framing headlines and the news itself in this antagonistic fashion. It just comes out as "us vs them" "they keep doing this" "i hate this", a whole bunch of emotional reactionary rhetoric.

Like how much of that do you really want to listen to? A lot of the converstions are devoid of solutions and organization. You only have so much time, energy, and mental capacity in a day-lifetime

When you distance yourself from the news and the people that are constantly immersed in it 24/7 it's hard not to notice how miserable and irritable they seem and they can't wait to try and unload that on someone else

Breh I've been telling democratic nikkas to stop doom scrolling because it wasn't good for their mental.

But ya'll nikkas tried to gaslight and say I was maga and shyt (which doesn't make sense if I was actually maga I would want more trump and republican threads to be talked about even more FOH)

Bothsiders stay getting proven right.

WE? I don't care about this shyt. But I think these dudes outrage is real they be doom scrolling on social media and watching the news 24/7 and they are already primed and pumped to go off about everything. We got a few protests but Im shocked these nikkas not hitting the streets and setting shyt on fire. Most the outrage I seen from nikkas is mostly online. "Trump this, Elon that, Republicans This, Maga that the same tune over and over.

Yup. You don't want to wake up to martial law or a economic depression while caught off guard.

First term you could look away. Not now... I have no issues with OP way of handling things just don't check out too much. Be tuned in enough to know when and if there is an emergency or urgent situation.

It helps that the news outlets are so goddamn p*ssy with the doom and gloom, its like Trump fukking all of us raw dawg with no lube. Yet, once you tap out and use the fruits of labor like video games, p*ssy, and touching grass...your mindset is at ease and cacs are the ones in shambles.

If the news just kept it a bean and say that this cocksucker is destroying everybody's lives including our own, the network is taking the knee because the streaming wars destroying the suits chances of owning a private jet, and its a freefall of the moronic and the greedy.

Until then, between TLR scary tropes (half of which I was on the nose with the outcome), news anchors making it seem like Trump is Satan in diapers instead of another failure of a man, and the sensationalism that will be resolved by the courts, its just sensationalism and paranoia uce.

 

[BlazedWun]

so wait, the people who bytched about obama wearing a tan suit can just wreck the economy, do all types of illegal shyt, take away protections and benefits black people died for, and we are supposed to just stick our heads in the sand and act like its business as usual?

no. if you're not paying attention and speaking up about this youre part of the problem.

You have to understand what is important in regards to him , and what is not.

Just listen/watch/read the news segments of these shows. What happened,/is happening? + interviews/quotes from participants or those close to the topic .

. The editorial/commentary element is unnecessary most times. It drives ratings, but not required to get the info about the story. Trim the fat, as much as you can.

 

[Big Boda]

Blocked.

 

[Black Hans]

Good for you. Hopefully, the cats still butthurt over the 2024 election results will follow in your footsteps and realize that there's 3.5 years left of Trump's second term and this is only the beginning

 

[DaHNIC82]

Just turning off social media and your phone period would do wonders
