Let us take a break to process the election results and focus on the holidays. We will get back to the fight soon. Just let us rest. We are tired and now is the time to focus on ourselves and our loved ones for the sake of our own mental health.

What fight? Fighting against what, exactly? Trump won decisively, won the popular vote and republicans control the house and senate. Americans have spoken.

I guess it’s not easy to accept that we have to live with lowest common denominator policies. But that’s how it’s going to be.

On what planet is this repulsive nut worth $30 million a year?

For real. How is Comcast justifying spending so much money on a personality who's viewership is negligible? A very bizarre business choice.

Or do you mean, you literally are not reading newspapers or long form journalism?

I have hard time wrapping my head around that.

I cannot speak for others. But I am referring to all of it.

But in particular, the big networks editorialize and distort literally everything. They emphasize their political agendas (that is called: propaganda).

And they intentionally ignore or try to downplay anything which counters their narratives. It has reached the point of absurdity. I’m just done with all of it.

Yes, I'm done for a while. I got too involved in watching and reading in 2024. I've already started reading more books and listening to books while driving.

The left and right news outlets are both shameful. Let's not pretend one is evil and one is fighting the virtuous fight.

The rank and file republican voters are among the most ignorant people in the world. It doesn’t seem to have hurt MAGA. Much of what they base their decisions on is fictional nonsense. The truth is not relevant these days.

Agreed, but I for one am not giving up on the truth. I will continue to seek it out from a range of news sources and will continue to push back on disinformation from the Right everywhere I can, including on this forum.

You guys are jokes and you're too dense to even realize it!

Yes, I find it troubling too. Cable news is complete garbage but journalists are doing important work, and citizens need to follow the news - EVEN IF YOU DON’T LIKE what the elected officials are doing.

Read the news and go on with your day.
