I've purposely tried to keep more politics and "news" out of my life. I get it either filtered through my hubby or second-hand through a Roosh stream. Otherwise, I focus more on the local and even there, I've streamed out anything COVID related (keeping a minimal eye on restrictions so I don't get arrested for not basically-complying). My life has been more peaceful. My focus at the moment is raising and teaching my kids, feeding my family, my garden and my faith. I'm far happier, less stressed and anxious here - I'm with you on the "living a decent conservative life". Even when I get the lefty-pokes, I scroll and leave it in my comments unattended. I'm all about being more simple at this point in my life.
