If you feel overwhelmed, that is on purpose. The Republicans are trying to make you feel overwhelmed so that you shut down and simply accept what is happening. This sociologist offers strategies to keep focus.

@tofugolem The problem with that statement is that it's Democrats who are putting out such an overwhelming amount of information, not all of it correct, and plenty of it contradictory, which just increases the information load, increasing the overwhelm.

And I wish they would knock it off because it makes it that much harder to actually push back against Republicans when there's so much noise in the signal.

@volkris
What are you talking about? The Dems have been almost entirely silent, and you're complaining that they are not silent enough?

They are already the most useless opposition party in human history, and you're complaining that they are doing too much.

I don't get it. I really don't.

@tofugolem Oh wow, you haven't heard the Dems speaking? I've been inundated with it in every media channel I have for days now.

From flooding social media through mainstream news outfits covering Democrats seeming to be constantly running to microphones this week, they have been amazingly noisy.

I really don't know how you missed it.

@volkris
Haven't seen a word of it, but thank you for letting us all know that you think they should remain silent and do nothing to oppose what's going on.

@tofugolem

So you haven't been keeping up with the news and current events enough to see what major figures have been saying, but somehow you have seen in what I said a position that runs exactly counter to what mine actually is?

What color is the sky in your world?

@volkris
No, I'm just not consuming your safe-space media. It's not my fault you chose to be indoctrinated.
