I simply avoid actively educating myself on current affairs now. It still seeps to me through internet and casual socializing osmosis. I let the news come to me.
I’m done being the guy in the office/cafe/bar who brings up politics unless I’m really desperate for a topic of conversation.
That said, people do seem to bring up politics to me now, which has been fairly disarming. I was always the initiator before November 5th. Normies are reacting now that shit is negatively effecting them. I’ve still not encountered any anti-Harris lefties IRL only online. Fucking cowards.
In theory the majority, to all, of anti Harris leftists are bots. If you’re running into the other people IRL, but not anti Harris people, that seems to be a decent indicator of bot shenanigans. I can confirm a similar experience of never meeting one of these people IRL
Possible if not likely, but also being an anti-Harris leftist indicates the sort of person who doesn’t touch grass anyway.
Though, I had seen handmade anti-Harris sign in Chicago once shortly before the election. “A vote for Harris is a vote for genocide” is what it said. I suspect that if there are some of those people do touch grass at all, they are aware of how incredibly unpopular they’d be in most progressive spaces if they openly stated they advocated against and refused to vote for Harris and would keep very quiet. Thus cowards.
