I haven’t watched or read American political news in about 6 weeks and have to say I have never felt better.

Ignorance really is bliss. I have, at best, a cursory understanding of what is going on and my mental health has never been better.

How did you manage to kick? I try real hard but I start getting dope sick at about 2 days and by week’s end, I’m back to monitoring the shitshow news cycle in glorious 24x7 coverage. FML.

I made some progress. I started listening to audiobooks instead of political podcasts.

I still read here a lot because you guys are my people and my mental health is fine even if we’re all doomed.

Surely the 23% mean “Pilgrims settled in an abandoned area that was abandoned because they murdered all the natives”

there was exactly zero “abandoned” or unoccupied land pre-contact.

Except it’s not really a joke, it’s just sad.

WAY bigger percentage saying “Pilgrims Stole Native Land” than I would have ever predicted. You could tell me that the people polled were 100% democrats and I’d believe you.
