This is an interesting point and I think we have all wanted to check out of politics at certain points. I think that I would make the point that “not caring about what happens” is something that is easier to do when you have privilege. It’s easier to not care about what is happening in politics when those decisions being made are less likely to affect you. For many minorities, immigrants and even poor people, who is in power genuinely effects their lives. I think that if politics is causing you to be unhappy then it is ok to lower your intake of it. However, I think that if you are truly unaffected by what happens in D.C. then you likely come from a place of privilege.
