I think people on the left are disengaging right now, but it may be temporary once the disappointment wears off. Stick to the adage “if you’re not outraged you’re not paying attention”. There will be plenty of stuff coming down the pike to get outraged about so start paying attention. In its best context, outrage can lead to wider recognition and recognition can lead to change.

It’s not so much ignorance, but rather, turning your attention to things you CAN do something about. Like volunteering, or tutoring kids…

We are all ignorant. Willful ignorance, to me, is the issue. Not reading, considering positions with which you disagree, is being willful.

Unfortunately true—especially right now.

Total ignorance is one end of the scale with “doomscrolling” at the other. Exercise moderation. Nobody likes someone with flabby moderation.

A viable short-term option, perhaps. But long-term ignorance brings bliss to no one.
