I just want politics to go back to being boring and barely in the news. I want to never hear from leaders except at their regularly alotted time.

We had that a couple years ago, it was so nice
During Trump's first term, I identified this as the number one most annoying thing about Trump. That you don't want the world's biggest attention whore as president.
And the only good thing about Trump was that he didn't actually do the job. He just watched TV and called into Fox News and took extended golfing holidays.
I still cannot comprehend how people seemed to forget this during Biden's term, when you could actually go a week or more without hearing about the president.
They wanted a meme president (again) and they got a meme president (again). Those uneducated mouth breathers love it and want more of it. Forget governing, just own the libs bruh

Native New Yorker here.
He was a part of the local media here forever. In his home town he's hated by the rich, the poor, the middle class, and everyone else.
We tried to warn people.

In my part of the world we get Trump's social diarrhea for breakfast.
Being in the mountain timezone, a couple hours behind Washington DC, I get to enjoy waking up every morning to a fresh new hell.
West coast checking in. I hate opening my eyes and the first thing I wonder is what fresh portal to hell opened while I slept.
Try living in the American cesspool. I have to struggle every day to not kill myself.
Last shroom trip I had I was so heavily convinced to kill myself that not having a gun is all that stopped me.
This is why the statistic on gun ownership and suicide is so true, also please find some cool tripsitters before you do this again
I was convinced that death would not be my end, that I would survive the destruction of my body and continue on, unaffected by the world, no longer apart of it.
In a sober mindset, I know that's bullshit, there is no afterlife.

Nah, Europe is complicit in genocide in Gaza. There's no "coherency and peace" before 5pm here either.
And the EU has been on a roll recently with threatening privacy with chat control, net neutrality, rising right-wing politics in many countries. We're not a mini america yet, but let's not pretend it's all roses and unicorns here, there is a lot of fighting still to be done.
Our police force is drowning people in the Mediterranean.
I dunno. America is making the European extreme right a lot more emboldened.
The only thing stopping them making a clean sweep in the UK is they've split into factions and none of them can agree on anything other than a rabid hatred of anything foreign.

At least you have half the day to prepare. I'm in Korea. I wake up to the dumb shit daily. I've taken to avoiding news entirely...
Right, so if I look up politics in the UK I'll see that everything's 'pretty excellent?'
Quite the opposite at the moment

Thinks back to the heady days when the Vice President misspelled potato.
Nobody forces you to read that shit. Feeding the outrage machine has been a major part of Trump's success. I try to ignore this nonsense as much as possible.
You can ignore it until he invades your country
How is exposing myself to the daily shower of diarrhea going to help with that?
You can poke around with a stick and find some of their objectives. Every diarrhea post had a lost kernel of truth in it so far and the following operations pursued that like a wrecking ball.
He's already invaded my country. His personal military is occupying Minneapolis right now.
Right now he’s busy with countries this side of the pond, and beating up American citizens with his variation on the SS.
Literally forced to see that shit. It's nearly impossible to filter out usa related items.
Dipshit Don is losing his fucking mind to Alzheimer’s, and there’s no one left with power or money who is willing to do anything about it.
The ones with power and money are gleefully taking advantage of it.
At least you can start drinking when they're posting and no one calls you an alcoholic.
"are you drinking again?" Checks the news "ooh I see" goes away like nothing happened.
me: starts packing
landlord: "what where you going"
me: shows him this post
landlord: "oh can I come with you"
And waking up to another insain story from the clownhouse ...
Wow pretty accurate.
Every farking morning we Antipodeans wake up, stretch, and open our devices to fresh hell
