Between November and now, I worked pretty diligently to create a wall around me to avoid these topics. Unfollowing, blocking, filtering.

Once the inauguration happened, I discovered that the concrete I used was faulty and full of holes. The black, fetid water of these lunatics seeped in from all directions.

Tech news, cultural news, arts, all possible other topics that I thought were safe within the walls I built are now covered with sludge.

I so tired of this shit. How did we let this happen?

I've been having this problem since 2016.

No matter how many filters you throw at it, there's always images, videos, and people self-censoring to get around them.

It's infected everyone and everything, like a virus.

Searching for a way out. I'm sure there's somewhere safe out there...

Honestly I'm surprised that "You won't have to hear about Trump again" wasn't motivation enough for people to get to the polls

This was 100% one of the most shocking things about all of this.
