While many, like myself, watch the daily Presidential briefing, far too many folks who grew up in the same era as I did, seem to be spending their time watching Netflix or engaged in some other non-informative behavior.

My husband becomes so furious, he yells at the monitor and he has a hard time limiting his anger to the deserving suspects.
He’s trying, but he has a logical mind and an American sense of justice. He wants heads on pikes and mass impoverishment of the coup plotters & media, along with general disenfranchisement of progs, with a side of treason charges.
My own anger is colder and I am resigned to being patient, but I empathize with his responses.
We just made an offer on a property and hopefully will be occupied with moving over the next 2 months. Meanwhile, I watch the briefings, usually on delay so I can pause and take breaks to calm down.
DH watches something mindless, plays solitaire, takes walks, does yard work or sometimes just goes for a drive.
Born in the 40s, raised in the 50s and came of age in the 60s....I read a lot of sci-fi and dystopian fiction and this is almost verbatim many stories. Some days I just cannot even catch my breath and it isn’t because of COVID.
I can confirm "stupid"
I went to college with journalism students. You know - English majors, but without all the reading. They all began their weekends on Thursday night. The Thursday night college bars consisted of Journalism majors, Political Science majors, Women's Studies majors, etc.
Imagine that...an area of study considered easier than Physical Education, Art, Sociology or English.
Their mothers chose names like Jonathan, Anthony and Sebastian because they are ‘soft’ names and that’s how they were brought up, wrapped in cotton wool and entitlement, with not an ounce of empathy.
Mother was probably a Lisa and Dad was Jim.
