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.
Well I can’t deny someone’s concern for their own mental health but I hope I can show them the investment might save them misery down the road… Either way, my target audience is always the bystanders on the fence reading these threads.
Fair, but I think there is a measure of difference between being concerned with one’s mental health vs prioritizing it over the health of society around you. Sticking your head in the sand isn’t getting us out of this mess, voting blue no matter who won’t change that. It is merely the first step to fixing things.
I get speaking to the peanut gallery. I think, whether the posters are aware of the guidance or not, the lurkers guide internet discussion.

But of course, you do you.
You’re speaking to someone that is clearly self centered.
Kudos, but you waste your time on people like this.
