Yes let's all bury our heads in the sand now. I'm sure it will all turn out fine ๐Ÿซฃ

some of us may need a few days between the cries of "dont vote for harris, teach them a lesson" and "now is the time to join us in revolutionary action". theres some lack of credibility going around this platform and the corporate media sources (news & social) are doing their best to maintain ad engagement. we are all staring down a decade of painfull experiances and it's ok to take a breath sometimes.

Pretty sure the intention is more to distance oneself from depressing information about an event that has occurred, not about something which can be interfered upon.

I.E. Hearing/consuming constant news about election results when one vehemently opposes the result can very easily lead to anxiety (shown in the comic) and depression, both of which can be damaging to one's mental and physical health.

There's little we can do about it now. The damage is done. Destroying our mental health with worry helps no one.
