Are We Thinking Too Much About Politics?

“Are we thinking too much about politics? That might sound hypocritical coming from someone who writes about politics every day. If we’re too obsessed with the Trump shitshow, then clearly I’m part of the problem. But still. We’re all faced with a tricky choice. If we bury our heads in the sand, the dictatorship wins. But if we’re in a constant state of panic, it also wins. It’s hard to mount an effective resistance if your hair’s on fire 24/7. Maybe we should reframe the choice. Well-informed concern and vigilance that lead to action? Good. Relentless doomscrolling and freakouts that induce catatonia? Bad.” (07/11/25)
