Two-thirds of Americans have cut back their political news consumption since Donald Trump was reelected, according to an Associated Press–NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey. Seven in ten are Democrats, six in ten Republicans and independents. Some of us can’t stand the man, others can stand the chaos.
It can’t be good for the country if the majority of citizens spend the next four years uninformed. But neither is it good for our mental health if we’re in a state of constant agitation over the news from Washington.
