Nothing anyone says will change my vote. Not paying attention will save my sanity. Especially because I’m in a swing state and they’ve already started calling me.
I tend to agree but it’s important to push back against right-wing trolls, family, and friends. Not necessarily to convince them, but to ensure they don’t sway the apathetic who go with the currents (what these right-wing operatives refer to as normies).
There will be calls to apathy and defeatism and muddying of the waters and there must be some rebuke to the onslaught of right-wing propaganda both on and offline.
Get others out to register and vote and make sure your crazy uncle’s rants don’t go unchecked.
I am more attached to my mental well-being than I am to democracy. Plus I don’t have a crazy racist uncle and if I did I wouldn’t see his posts because I don’t use Facebook.
Unless you’re saying I should further endanger my sanity by using that cesspool again, in which case I will decline more vehemently
I posit the end of Democracy may just be a greater threat to one’s sanity than merely partaking in news and having conversations. Just a thought. Especially when we know these conversations and pushing back against trolls matter; and that inaction can lead to mold festering unchecked.

But of course, you do you.
