Hey remember how shit 2016-2020 was? You GOTTA make a plan in case that happens again, because there's an at least 50% chance of it happening again.
And I don't mean activism, I mean your media diet.

Those were four years of every single (american) media thing yelling AAAAAAAAHHHHH without an end, I think you will agree.

I think we may, right now, be at a point where there is enough hindsight, and where the next time this will happen is not imminent enough, that you can look at that and go "no matter how factually bad it was, it wasn't worth being blasted with AAAAAAAHHHHHHH" for 1500 days". I don't know how much news you read/watch right now, but here's my proposal: Unless you absolutely must, because your job demands it, try and stop it. See what changes.

I promise, if something happens that will impact your life, you'll find out. Someone will tell you. And if they don't, then it doesn't impact you. (This is kind of a self-fulfilling bit, but... well it works!)

It's not your duty to wake up, read what the bad man has said or done again, to feel bad and powerless, and then go to your shit job. You can skip the middle steps. No belief system or religion demands that you stay informed so you can feel bad. The only people who want you to "stay informed" are people who want to sell you the advertisement breaks in between.

If we end up in another repeat of the shitty timeline, check who is posting AAAAHHH to your timeline and consider asking them to stop, or just muting that stuff. You don't have to. You can just go away.

(Also, in case the guy doesn't get elected: You can still stop reading the news. It's one of the easiest improvements in life quality you can make.)
