We outside of the US didn't even have any say in the elections and are subjected to your constant, and I mean constant political shit.
It's all so tiring
As someone inside of the country, I'm also tired.
I wish we were boring so bad, for the whole world's sake.
I feel so bad for you. Now excuse me while I go back to living inside of it.

Block .world and the feed is massively better
Use an app that allows blocking posts by keyword, like Voyager.
This is my list of keywords that keeps me sane while browsing lemmy:
I do the same. I still get a ton of posts like this don’t include any relevant key words and still are about musk or trump. It’s impossible to escape.
Its absolutely impossible to be on Lemmy and avoid political post even with keyword filters because keywords don't filter on meme content, usually.
And then you look for a community devoted to your hobbies and the most recent post is from a year ago.
I am leaning harder and harder on 'political comedy isn't comedy' as a rule. 'It's just a joke,' is a far too common smokescreen for people pushing terrible ideas and mocking people spreading bad ideas doesn't do anything to stop them. It can even help. Politics isn't supposed to be entertaining. It's the decisions that affect how we live our lives. We need comedy in politics like we need strippers in surgery.
I have a filter on Elon and Trump
It was too much
Same but some don't tag their posts and I still see some posts slip through maybe I should block the news communities.
if it's that bad, I honestly think you shouldn't be online.
Not kidding, you need to take better care of yourself if it's at the point where you're setting filters and still getting stressed seeing political content, you're not helping yourself escaping online.
There have to be some other things you can do, places you can go, activities you can occupy yourself with or people you can hang out with.
Because man... this shit happening right now is big, it's history, it's going to be really, really hard to escape it online because there are millions and millions of people far more involved and worried and trying to communicate their concerns.
I've been arguing with Tankies and bots for like 2 days in an Anti-DNC meme.
Some of them have unironically endorsed Republicans, like not even a joke, no mask, they just want things to burn.
