A highly upvoted Reddit (r/politics) comment reacting to our story on anti-Trump Americans tuning out the news
A screenshot of a Reddit a comment that says: I tuned out. Unfollowed every news outlet, every reporter, canceled my subscriptions ect When he won in 16 I wanted to know everything I wanted to be informed I wanted to make sure I knew why I hated him and why this was horrible. It made me depressed, it made me drink a lot and I didn’t even realize it but I was so upset about the state of the country that I didn’t wanna live it in soberly most of the time. I refuse to live that way again. I’m gonna vote like always, I’m gonna look up policies when it’s election time. But I’m not arguing with anyone, I’m not gonna let these fuckers get me mad, I’m angry not sad this time but I’m being mindful that anger doesn’t have to be my constant driving force like depression was back then. I just know that for the next four years the only thing I care about it my life and my wellbeing and hopefully we make it to another election where something changes
