      You definitely can ignore [Trump quote of the day] and the 24h news cycle.

      Reading about what’s current once a week and otherwise just picking up stuff from conversations with your peers is enough.

        There are two parts to my statement. You can ignore him… BUT he doesn’t simply go away. He will be deciding us policy for the next two years.

        It’s not about “being offended”. This moron is going to be the most powerful person in the county. What he says and thinks effects markets and trade.

      You definitely can, but you’ll have to uninstall Lemmy and all other social media for a while.
