I agree with this take.

I blocked Trump and Musk keywords in my Lemmy client and i feel so much less anger.

That was the path before the election. A lot of clickbait headlines linking to his platform that exposed his "alternate facts basis" for evil. Now the attitude won't make him go away anymore.

Yeah, ignore the president of USA. Great strategy

If they did that, they would have nothing to say.

Last time they didn't, we're in for at least 4 years of this.

My kingdom for ublock filter lines to remove posts with titles including "Trump" or "Musk"

Same goes for the Fediverse. Can't go on a single political instance anymore without many people just having to bring up the asshole's existence.

I completely agree but it's a little hard for me to know exactly where to draw the line though. It's less hard for assholes profiting from his bile. They can print everything he says (and print money from that) and also stand on the flimsy argument that everything he says is newsworthy.

Don't feed the trolls.

I don't remember where I heard this, but it's stuck with me "Liberals take Trump literally and have never taken him seriously."

It cant

I just wish social media wasn't focused on so much, when it comes to politicians and other high figures.

They should be posting statements of value on official websites and the like, yet instead a blimmin' tweet is the highlight of discussion time and time again. Why should I care? I'm not here to be friends with them.

Isn’t that exactly what you’re doing right now? The lack of self awareness is astounding.
