‘Millions’ may have protested Trump and Musk yesterday in c/[email protected]

Why is the reporting on what happened yesterday so shitty? I live in a really small town and we had a pretty surprising turnout. Like, it's more dangerous to protest here because everyone knows who you are and where you live.

The company that makes the most dangerous vehicles since the Pinto didn't do well? In addition to having South African Hitler as their CEO? I'm shocked.

Why does he even have an approval rating in the first place? He's unelected.

I'm 43, almost 44, years old and went through a bought of alcoholism during the early part of the pandemic. I went through treatment and have been fine since. However, I can't help but feel that all the news in the last few months is just the worst. Between the AI bullshit, the wars, the effects of capitalism, and the political situation in general it's just the worst. Is it just me or have other folks noticed the same trend?

Edit: I should have also mentioned the enshitification of everything tech related.

Edit 2: Thanks for all the thoughtful replies. For some more context, yes I'm American and live in a state that's about to ban the wearing of masks in public. I haven't had a drink in over year and have been in therapy for 3 years. I don't watch any news sources and rarely read media websites. But yet, that information seeps into my life somehow. I donate blood, I make charitable donations, and try to live a good life. I have 2 amazing kids and a great wife. It's just hard to not end up in a doomer mindset at times. A Bitcoin company bought a power plant up here that has an existing lease to use a lake as cooling water, and it's heated up the lake to the point that it's killing fish.
