I feel so similarly. It feels so insidious and normalised. I’ve been engaging more with anti-consumerist, minimalist, repair and mend etc. spaces online, and that’s helped me feel more hopeful. There are like-minded people out there! My latest obsession has been moving away from big tech because I’m fed up with having my privacy invaded just so I can be sold more useless crap.

I’m not American, and the only exposure to him that I had the misfortune of coming across was him saying that he’s anti-abortion, even for child victims of sexual abuse. It’s horrible enough to force a grown woman to carry a pregnancy against her will, but a little girl that’s been raped?? That’s indescribably heinous.
god forbid women have hobbies 🙄
Oh you inspire me on that last point! I’m now off Instagram because the ratio of grift/ads to friend/following content is a joke. I’ve been off Twitter for ages now, and barely access Reddit either.
I’ve started (but not finished!) my own media server. I have just set up a pi-hole though and it’s pretty great for avoiding internet advert slop on mobile (and other non-desktop devices).
