I would recommend at least being familiar with what is being discussed on thoese platforms, because Trump and team sure does. Its what got them elected.
Truth Social and FR are my only social media outlets, and its plenty. Outside of those, I read tons - technical papers, legislation, political tomes, histories of many things (main passion). For Newspapers/News websites - Real Clear Politics, Epoch Times, London Telegraph, Wash Times and a couple others.
For listening/podcasts, I sporadically tune in to Megyn Kelly, Brett Cooper (for the youngens’ opinions), Michael Knowles, Jessie Kelly, Allie Beth Stuckey, Michael Malice, Rogan, & Larry Elder. One thing is certain, the Radio & Podcast worlds really suck w/o Rush and Mark Steyn.
Rest of social media & media is too much of a shitshow and I don’t have the time or inclination.
