    He doesn’t deserve my attention. Not once in his miserable life has he ever said anything worth listening to.

    I get that he’s a bigot, a narcissist, an authoritarian, a fascist, a gaping asshole. I don’t need daily reminders of that fact.

      Authoritarians get their power from people who stand on the sidelines. Maybe you aren’t standing on the sidelines, but the constant deluge of worse and worse news is part of the strategy to burn you out and stay home when the election/revolution (depending on how things are going) starts.

        That’s quite a leap. There’s a difference between checking out and understanding that Trump has nothing interesting to say.

      If you spend a few nights reading the Wikipedia page for NSDAP and delve futher into research, I feel like you’d change your mind. We need to get vocal before we allow this to happen again. We need to express our anger towards anyone that wants what happened to happen again.
