      Nobody says OP is. They might have loved ones who are or be bombarded with links or just following media critics or anything.

        I spent an afternoon at my in-laws, who watch Fox 24/7, fact checking the nonsense spouted. They were not happy with me.

        I really only get this shit third-hand (occasional visits to my parents, and they tell me about the stupid shit said by one of their close friends, who has the crazy fears and politics put into her head by her Trumper son), and it’s exhausting then.

        I cannot imagine living an existence where I’m subjected to it daily.

        I’m very thankful that I work in an office where political shit is expressly forbidden, that at my last job, my Trumper coworkers usually at least tried to keep it to themselves, and the one job I worked with a true conservative lunatic (like…it would be zero surprise to me if I saw the news tomorrow that he’d shot up a place or barricaded himself in his home and had a standoff with govt agents) was well before the trump era.
