I'm sincerely curious: is there a benefit to keeping oneself aware of the pitfalls and drawbacks of a Trump administration that outweigh the bleak, depressive moods that come with it? Or will it become normal? Or will it never become normal and it will always be discouraging?

I really hate to sound like a prima donna. Because life is actually been very kind to me, and Trump is not the first, the last, or the worst. But I've been flirting with a "news diet" where I eliminate educating myself on this because I'm sick of the high blood pressure, the cognitive dissonance, and the depressive mood that permeates after a dosage of this stuff. Who am I kidding. I'll never stop.
