Yeah I know what you mean. It’s tough, because being aware is one of the first steps for fighting back, but you can’t fight back as effectively if it all demoralizes you too much. It’s like there’s a really fine line somewhere between involved and too much, and where that line is fluctuates over time.
For myself, while I am consuming news again, my overall consumption is still down from where it was pre-election. I remember I did this during Trump’s first term as well, where it just started getting to me too much. I feel like I have a good amount of endurance for this stuff too. I wish there was a better answer, but it really is kinda a catch-22. Rock and a hard place.
