Comment on How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news?

It’s tough. Stick to AP, Reuters if you can afford it. The entire news environment is pretty crazy right now though. I think once the US gets through Trump the rest of the world might calm down some and we can all relax a little bit.

Thing is I look at start of obama to end and how long it takes to get back to where we could be and at this point it takes much longer than how long things were degrading. Biden did a crazy amount of stuff in his term and it still did not get through what trump messed up in his first term. Then take the lighning fast pace of destruction with all the federal agencies. Getting those to where they were is not going to be easy. So muhc lost institutional knowledge. Unless the right loses so much support it becomes completely inconsequential and we have a decade or more of relatively sensible policies I just don't see a relaxation point.

Yes, 100%
But we have to get through it or the biggest power left in the world becomes a shithole country. We can’t get him out and just have to endure.
I’ll be here after Trump and I hope you are too.
