I engage with politics quite a bit, and do my best to try and stay informed about current issues. However, being bombarded with it 24/7 is a great way to make people numb to politics and stop caring. It's good to be able to choose when you have the energy to engage with it, and being able to filter it out at times is part of that. Yes it is privileged, but that doesn't make it negative.

I have literally never experienced this.
