The funny thing is, I have Lemmy filtering out all posts with the word Trump in it, but it failed to get this one, the one complaining about too many people talking about Trump!

MODERATORS
Everything... EVERYTHING... related to the orange parasite or any of its' bootlicking minions, I downvote without looking and move on.
The afterlife thankfully doesn't mention him, it doesn't mention anything.
I bet people said the same thing about Hitler both before and after he died. Awful people are typically quite often talked about.
Trump is the best thing to ever happen to news networks. No more hard questions. No people planning positive rights legislation. Nothing but trump. The status quo is safe while he sucks all the air out of every public forum and media.
Trump is the best thing to ever happen to news networks
Or to single-letter social network sites.
Everyone's talking and nobody's doing anything.
Between November and now, I worked pretty diligently to create a wall around me to avoid these topics. Unfollowing, blocking, filtering.
Once the inauguration happened, I discovered that the concrete I used was faulty and full of holes. The black, fetid water of these lunatics seeped in from all directions.
Tech news, cultural news, arts, all possible other topics that I thought were safe within the walls I built are now covered with sludge.
I so tired of this shit. How did we let this happen?
Probably because the impact is bigger now and affecting a lot of the things you mentioned. That's what happens when they get power I guess rather than just talk. I've been doing my best to avoid it as well though, it also makes me feel so negative. Good luck to you in this crazy world.
I'm in the same spot. Even made a Lemmy account just so I can block communities. Then I go to technology/linux/memes communities and guess what? It's american politics all over. And don't even get me started on Reddit, at that point subreddits don't even matter anymore. Even on the subreddit related to my own country in eastern Europe, every day I see a ton of pointless "Trump news". And mods justification is always "it's TOTALLY related to our country because US politics impacts the entire world". Like, what's the point anymore? We might as well talk about Trump and Musk in the plants or lego community.
[Describes working very hard to ignore problem]
How did it happen?
It can't be ignored forever.
Dude, I was up on the news and very diligent in many things.
You don’t know where I live, you don’t know what I’ve done up to November, nor where I’ve worked.
I spent literally the last few months of my entire fucking life trying to shut out this shit so it doesn’t tank my mental health to a degree that would likely kill me.
So please, spare me your fucking judgment.
No
I've been having this problem since 2016.
No matter how many filters you throw at it, there's always images, videos, and people self-censoring to get around them.
It's infected everyone and everything, like a virus.
Searching for a way out. I'm sure there's somewhere safe out there...
Honestly I'm surprised that "You won't have to hear about Trump again" wasn't motivation enough for people to get to the polls
Ironically, for all that I'm sick of hearing about AI AI AI AI AI AI AI everywhere, maybe a really good prompt could plug the few remaining holes..
This
Of all the shit that comes with trump, this is the worst thing. For the next 4 years I cannot have a single fucking day without trump. It's going to be trump left, trump right, trump before, trump after, there is no escaping it. 4 years of 90% of the news being trump bullshit. kill me now.
Unfortunately, no matter how the rest of the next four years go, I fear we'll be hearing "Trump-era" for the rest of our lives.
Honestly, I think that's the top reason he went into politics. Narcissists need everyone to pay attention to them
That's a pretty interesting observation, i never considered that.

Even after, there's tons to undo and process for the history books.
If that's the worst thing, then you are very privileged.
Or you aren't American
Right, because only America will be affected by all this, just like how only Germany was affected by the Holocaust.
Which reminds me, the worst thing about that Hitler fellow is how I have to keep hearing about him.
If you genuinely think there is going to be a holocaust you should probably be planning assassination of government officials rather than complaining online.

Dude don't waste your death on a splat, buy a sniper rifle and at least try an assassination attempt. You can always have a live grenade or side arm if you screw up and have to off yourself.... But I mean, at least take some pot shots at him or a crony before you leave.
Just to make sure there's no chilling effect on any Americans who watched that link: It is in fact perfectly and absolutely legal for you to say you want to kill the president. The above linked video was just a skit.
(Further info on this is available in this legal advice Reddit thread.). Basically it only becomes questionable when it poses a reasonable threat, or contributes to evidence of a credible threat.
So I'm just saying; the more realistic and actualized your plans are, the quieter and more secretive you should be with them! All the way up to the glorious date you carry out your plans! ...and you control when that date is! Wouldn't that be exciting?
Anyways, I just think there are certain ideas worth popularizing and trying to get into the popular imagination, and this is one of them (all your plans coming together like a well oiled and maintained rifle. Perhaps from the arsenal of a well-regulated militia). Hey maybe one chosen one will do us all a favor and accept the mission.
We all have to take a shot at the things we believe in right? Sorry for typing so much... I guess I must have an itchy trigger finger.

@title: A smart person would limit exposure and stick around to not have to find out.
Yeah, it means something bad is happening. People are talking about it because they don't want to do anything serious about it, which is somewhat good. It would be good to solve this problem with words only.
The day he no longer exists will be a joyous day indeed.
Filters in the fediverse are so nice.
Yet this bypasses filters because it's not in the title or text

I’m starting to dislike and avoid the Daily Show and even the Jon episodes, I just can’t keep hearing and seeing the stupid bullshit every damn day.
And yet with all my filters, here you are shitting up my feed with yet more.
Fuck you very much.
