I mean, literally it feels like it’s overtaken my entire life, not just online. Everything.
I was kind of into politics before, but never to this extent, even during Trump’s first term bc it’s just fucked up everything for me.
My job, my plans for the future, my child’s future, my family that are retired and dependent on social security and Mediciad, my friends that have had health issues.
It’s not propaganda. It’s literally just fucked me over, and ignoring it would just be like closing my eyes, sticking my fingers in my ears and pretending reality isn’t real.
If that’s not the case for you, I understand and kind of envy you, but I promise its the reality for a lot of people right now
Outside of Lemmy and other social media there is no desire to create a connection to politics at every opportunity. The propaganda machine is real

You literally just brought politics into a discussion about not bringing up politics.
