I'm thinking of taking a break from news. All news. All election, scotus, issues coverage. All of it.
GOP bangs on about the demise of our party and so what - they were doing the same thing in the election before every previous Democratic victory. But now the supposedly unbiased news is full of the last gasp of the left. And Dems themselves are gnashing their teeth and tearing their hair instead of knuckling down and getting to it.
It's harshing my summer.
@BrazenlyLiberal i think that is a very god idea! The same things will be going on when you reengage..
Yes they will. And in the meantime, self care is good care.
@BrazenlyLiberal
Getting down to it would be a good strategy. Instead we have panic and bedwetting
@BrazenlyLiberal
Do whatever you need to do to protect your mental health. We will still be here. I take mini breaks of a day or two or 3, to gain perspective and boost my resilience until the next break. 🤗
@BrazenlyLiberal News media literally owned by GOP.
I'm doing much the same. It's only going to ramp up.
Take care of yourself.
I'm doing the same exact thing! Sending you hugs! 🫂
I'm not lying- it won't be easy. I've been a news junkie for as long as I can remember.
