I’m in this camp as well. I followed the news closely the entire Trump administration and through the Biden administration, and despite knowing everything this prick had done the American electorate either shrugged it all off or didn’t follow any of it and reelected his ass.

Nothing positive came of me knowing about Trump’s every bowel movement via crappy media posts. Many voters didn’t even know Biden had dropped out of the race.

I don’t think the “Trump is good for ratings” media outlets anticipated this reaction of ours, but the nightmare scenario of a second Trump term has already arrived and the media – if they had any effect – aided him in his return to power. I’m through with clicking on the bait and pretending that “democracy dies in darkness” and subscribing to the same newspapers that help push right-wing narratives in an effort to appear unbiased.

Edit: I am, however, subscribed to a number of things via RSS to stay informed without being part of their clickbait games. I cannot recommend enough people going back to RSS.
