I’d say 2016

I don't disagree with your post, and I'm not going to tell you to change anything you're doing, but that's what they want you to do, they want everyone to look away and stop fighting back.

2015 actually.

The only newsfeed I've followed in the past 7 years or so is Daily Kos' Good News Roundup. Good things are happening every day, but it's not profitable to tell us about them.

Sorry. Run that back to 2016. The decade from hell.

😢

Make that since 2015 with an escalator descent.

*1989

Go back further. We have been hit with a barrage of bad news since Jan 20 2017.

2020? Nah, you misspelled 2016. When all the best celebrities started dying and the fucking zoo shot Harambe. The universe has been fucked since then.

***2016***

I need a pair of peril sensitive sunglasses.

2016

How about since 2016?!

Thanks and agreed! And the same globally, trumpy is not an end but an inflection point for us all. I just don’t know how yet ❤️

Tis ok. I like to learn about others and I respect how every individual is different and has a voice. It helps me to understand myself and others. I need to be checked on how my wording comes across. We all like to be heard, but is anyone listening? I try to but I slip up and the frustration comes.

Son, you gotta panty on your head

All in their plan..

I think you mean 2015.

Absolutely, and it's even worse today. I can barely stand it. I need to walk away from the news today it's killing my joy.

Similar here

Actually, it wasn't nearly as bad while Biden was President. I'm not saying nothing bad happened on his watch, but there were a lot of good things that happened too. I can't recall one single thing good happening since the day that Drumpf took office.

😒☹️

What do you mean,, no good news? There's that beautiful marble.

We need you ❤️

Since 2016 would be more accurate.

I think we died during COVID and are now in hell. Prove me wrong.

I go further and day since 2016

2016

Since 2015.

And buy them. Mission accomplished.

Joe Biden gave us 4 years of peace!

I’m thinking Covid would be preferable right now.

Breathe. Just breathe. And then find Your center. You can do this. ...exhale evenly

Since Bowie died, TBH.

It’s exhausting.

2020? 2016!

sort of like, "Oh, this seems like a nice day to run a past-tense biography of Eleanor Roosevelt."

It being done by design not an accident! 🤬🤬

Ya think?😠

There is a solution and is written into our founding laws. It's at the heart of all the others ...

I want a Confidence vote like France does to their leaders

Came to say this.

I absolutely did and I’m furious that this reign of terror we are living thru has had an unintentional (maybe?) impact on how much news I ingest on a daily basis. As you said, I just can’t take it anymore. It was such a brief relief when Biden was pres, but now? I just can’t watch the news anymore

1980

100% I blame the Cubs.

I thought it was 1978 ...

2016.The barrage began in 2016.

I think there were several times during the Biden administration that I felt we might get free of this so I won’t say it’s been all bad. I felt he passed some really great legislation and the economy was improving. Of course trump never left or shut up.

I think since 2016

I would argue since 2016 😣

2016

Longer than that, it's been one thing after another since that orange twatwaddle slid down that damn golden escalator in 2016. Ten long years.

Nice that we are not stupid

Which is why I no longer watch the news or news feeds. That's where the real doomscrolling begins. I'm more at peace now, and I still now what's what.

I graduated from college in 1987. Aside from a few respites, like the 8 years of Clinton, 8 years of Obama, and 4 years of Biden, this country has been a shit show. Every time the country would get back on track, the rug would get pulled out from under us again. And now this.

Flood the zone - Steve Bannon

Try 2015 when Trump came down his gaudy golden escalator.

2015

So you missed the whole vaccine to COVID found in record time? Violent crime not nearly as bad as it's overhyped on the news? (Okay, yeah, that's easily missed.) Cats still exist and remain adorable. Universal truth. 🐱👍😁 Or there's also dogs, rabbits, racoons, etc., if you're of that persuasion.😀

Thank you for validating these feelings and, in so doing, helping me do the same.

6- yrs?? Nope..it’s been 11 and I’m fucking sick of it. No one of any age should have to feel this way. At 75 I do not want to die before that evil asshole is destroyed.

That's why folks STOPPED watching the News, and Even after Rupert Murdock was sewd for their Lies on Air, they're STILL Pushing Misinformation‼️ MAKE the Choice, do you want Truth⁉️, or do you Just want to BELIEVE⁉️

2016

The Guardian reports that a third of the US population doesn't know or see, or follow the current political situation. If so it will get worse.

It’s intentional

2016.

It goes WAY back.

That barrage started back in reagan's term and the beginning of FOX news. The Right has manipulated news for 50 years and more. They really began it to oppose Civil Rights. The National Papers reported the news impartially, so they bought them out.

The epidemic of teen mental health problems comes more from this than from social media. Parents too need to step away or put their children at risk

Maybe back that down to 2016!

I disagree with you. We started being a shithole country in 2016 when sex predator Trump was elected by the idiot poor repugs. A short respite during Biden who fought a repug congress, but got the infrastructure bill passed. Some of us spent this time fighting for democracy, not procrastinating.

I had to cut back for my own mental health also. Got off of Meta about 2 years ago to avoid seeing family members posts. I was out protesting at least weekly until around August. In November I cut my cable and felt my tension drop dramatically. Now I volunteer for votefwd.org help desk

Remember to maintain your mental health. For me stabbing something thousands of times really helps. This one is ready for framing.

Not silly at all! Anything that lifts your heart and puts a smile on your face is something to be grateful for these days. What works for me is Japanese entertainment—j-pop groups like Arashi and Snow Man, j-dramas like Hana-Kimi and Trillion Game (Netflix). I'm glad you found your dragons! ☺️

Made me a super fan and forced my adult child to watch one; she said, "okay. That DID bring a tear to my eye". So this former news junkie and Obama campaign worker uses a kids show about adventure, friendship and cool dragons to stay sane.

My zone is flooded…bigly

We allow this. We allow this behavior by our government. We outnumber them easily. It's not our job to police our own government, until today.

Read The Shock Doctrine.

Since 2015. It all began with King orangutan coming down a golden elevator.

Bull look at news from 1950s we are being" entertained not educated"

Since 2016….

My mom used to watch the nightly news because they always reported on the Vietnam war. This was the late 60’s+

Honestly, it goes back further than that. At least covid.

Basically, we all have OTSS Ongoing Traumatic Shock Syndrome. It would be nice to get to PTSD.

And it does get heavy.

Again, this isn't to blame Biden for most of this (although him not stepping aside until the last minute despite very real issues with his age, and his weak handling of Trump's crimes are a big part of the reason we got a second Trump term), but... The Biden era was way less bad, but it wasn't good

Well we kicked our right wing out the door. California fires were planned ...by right wing. Increased droughts is always going to happen due to climate change. Twitter is a smegma box. Just don't use it. I'm old. All a speed bump which we can fix

Biden warned Ukraine and they ignored. Any bad news has related to Trump and his connections. I just think it is a bit of a slur on Biden that you include 2020 onwards when it is all Trump's doing.

How about you chill the fuck out and quit acting like someone’s sincere post about their health is all about your political beliefs? Also maybe stop expecting detailed and nuanced political commentary from someone who is posting about why they don’t engage with politics now? Be realistic and kind

"...with barely anything positive since January 20, 2017." Sorry; had to fix that.

and, they say it’s getting worse?

Demoralize the opposition. If you're a fascist, it's what you do.

Since 2016.

More line 10 yrs but yes

2016-2019 was a shitshow every freaking minute. How soon we forget.

I'm old enough to remember 2016. But who's counting?

Well, how am I supposed to get my beverage, Dave, actually get up and walk over? Read the room!

Awesome! There are hourly red pandas too, which I wouldn't have found without your help 💃🎉

Actually 11 years 😒

poor you and your mental health??? smh you’re part of the problem. bet you didn’t even vote

During the Biden Administration all I focused on was clean energy policy, and that was great, very inspiring.
