If you supported Trump: now that Biden is in office do you watch just as much politics as before the election?

Asked by JLeslie (65719points) March 28th, 2021

Watching on television, or even reading the news. Maybe not completely stopped, but have you cut back significantly? How much?

Yes, I do watch just as much politics.

Over all I think that I’m paying a little less attention to news nowadays.

I tried to watch Biden’s news conference but it was so boring I turned it off. I was always captivated by Trump’s news conferences and speeches. (Bill Clinton also captivated me).

It’s just brutal to listen to Biden talk. He seems to struggle and is weak. I feel sorry for him. It would not surprise me to get news that he just drops dead (from the stress and natural causes).

I read The Wall Street Journal and the Seattle Times. Also I enjoy listening to very liberal Tom Hartmann on the radio once a week and a couple of conservative radio stalk shows. Also Fox News.

I’m paying attention but not to Biden/Harris in particular. It’s painful to watch.
I still watch local/ world news and check bbc a few times a week, along with PBS, but the address is the last thing I actually watched Biden speak on. Since I don’t agree with many of their policy choices lately, it just irritates me.

I actually did not mean watching Biden, I just meant watching politics in general, and if it was the same or different channels or periodicals than previously.

I have this idea that Republicans are watching just as much as before and Democrats are watching significantly less. I don’t know if I am correct, but it seems I am possibly right.

I’m definitely watching less. The news seems to be either boring or irritating. I see very little being done for the country and a lot being done to the country. Watching the news only reminds me how little power I have to influence anything. Hunker down and wait for something to change. Positive change seems unlikely but maybe a little less negative change,

I am exactly where @Jaxk is on this. Exactly.

I differ in one important way in that I do believe that there was massive fraud in this election, and that there’s no going back. We can hunker down, but don’t expect any change to come ever.
