    And remember to be rational, to remain somewhat detached from the constant stream of political narratives and spins that gets thrown your way, where the positive or neutral things get ignored because that gets no click-ad revenue, everything that gets screamed at you is a distortion of reality.
    Separate the garbage and the appeal to visceral reactions.

    It’s easier then to see that Biden and his cabinet inherited an incredible mess, is genuinely trying to clean it up, and there are no overnight miracles when the other political party constantly engages in sabotage of the gears of democracy, while a large segment of the population remains electorally apathetic and aloof.

    This constant, perpetual media and social media provocation and clickbait, makes an intellect vulnerable to “divide-and-conquer” tactics, keeps him/her apathetic and aloof, while simultaneously demoralized. And the constant stream of infotainment excrement just keeps on flowing like a river during rainy season.

    EDIT: To put in a nutshell, tldr:
    Electoral apathy benefits republicans.
    Electoral engagement benefits Democrats.
    Now guess which side engages most with “divide and conquer” infotainment dumps to keep the electorate as cynical as possible.
