I haven't used the mute button up until today.

I just can't stand to listen to their bullshit anymore. Now, they are back to Burisma and Hunter Biden.

I am considering turning it off and watching Marriage Story on Netflix instead. Does that make me a bad citizen?

The shitstorm is deliberately stirred up to discourage people from engaging and to turn away in disgust. When you feel discouraged and disgusted, it isn't by accident or happenstance.

Crazy, greedy, corrupt, or stupid are about half of our citizens.

change the channel if a reTHUG is displayed too. It's important for all us Good Citizens to maintain our mental health since we can read up on all the reTHUG lies later.
