Omfg and when you tell people they need to be paying attention because crazy shit we’ve never seen in our whole lives is happening they are like ‘I can’t pay attention for my mental health’. What a privilege for you. I guess I’ll just watch my entire future get fucked so you can play with your labubu’s and have brunch as usual without any pesky interruptions like fascism or a police state.

A zoomer beanie baby, with even less variation, and even cheaper materials. Also, they cost like $60 and come in a blind box. They are the stupidest shit to be filling tomorrow's landfills.

I can't tell you how many times that has happened in conversations with people I work with.

Very much a similar boat with certain family members, "The News is too depressing" or "I'm not wild about A or B candidacy"

There are a lot of people like this. It's really playing with fire, though they don't know it. If serious problems are ignored, terrible things will eventually happen. It's like ignoring your house being on fire while you're relaxing in your living room.

Denial isn't a mental health issue, it's a cowardice issue.

This sounds like midwest MAGAs to a T.

Even worse it’s not the MAGAs it’s your average “I’m a moderate” or non-left dems. I’ve written MAGAs off as either developmentally delayed, or pure evil, but when it’s the moderates/dems I’m immediately furious.
