Surprised they didn’t cover trump winning the popular vote this time around. Imo that’s likely one of the key differences compared to 16’.

> the return of Trump prompts a feeling of just wanting to ignore it all, including politics more broadly, and **focus their energy elsewhere**.
Well, maybe some of us feel let down by a media that gave us false hope. Maybe some of us are done with solutions that feel good and are looking for solutions that actually are good. Maybe we’re debating who the adults in the room really are, and finding that they don’t broadcast on MSNBC or CNN.
I’ve ramped up my political focus since the election: this is the first political sub I’ve bothered to join. But am I watching [eyeroll] incisive commentary from the USA’s finest cable anchors? Pointedly not.

Well yeah. Things will be shitty whether or not you are constantly aware of them. Keeping yourself constantly informed about the latest Trump shit is (1) not good for your mental health and (2) not actually going to produce any positive results.
