kentuck (92,450 posts)https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212331996Are you able to ignore the the right-wing noise machine?People like Limbaugh and Hannity? People like Donald Trump? Or do you allow yourself to be pre-occupied with their bullshit? I will admit that it is hard to ignore Donald Trump because he is always yelling and saying outlandish BS. But, sometimes you have to compartmentalize. You have to put them in a back drawer and give yourself a break. And you tell yourself it is for your own mental well-being? Or do you enjoy being in their face every day? All day long? Just think about how you are depriving them of the attention they crave? They need the attention like roaches need darkness. Are you able to put them in a compartment and keep them there for as long as you like? I am working on it.
Star Member NRaleighLiberal (48,349 posts) 2. I listen to none of them - no TV for 10 years, essentially no radio.I get the news from DU but don't watch clips - video or audio. Can't do it to myself. I've put essentially all media in a big, sturdy box and locked it up. My attempts for positive change are by sharing and teaching gardening, positive things.
Star Member Mountain Mule (800 posts) 5. I never willingly listen to Limbaugh or FoxBut I do belong to another forum where Democrats and members of the KGOP engage in debate. If I don't watch it, I become completely enraged. So, right now I'm taking a break from that place just for my own sanity. Trumpers believe in the most bizarre things. Like they think witches are actually real and they're infesting all the colleges and universities. Say what? That's the sort of people who support tRump. God help us all.

Ted Kennedy is the only person with an actual confirmed kill in the war on women.

"If I DON'T watch it I become completely enraged." Let's assume that the author meant "If I watch it..." What enrages this person? The possibly logical debate from the Conservatives, the losing blather from the DEMS? That somebody does not believe in e.g. killing babies or other Communist agenda items to ruin America?However, if we take the statement at face value, the author means that the debate acts as a catharsis, a safety-valve for his normal state of being enraged! I rather like that second interpretation!
The DUmmie's phrasing left me confused as well but I think if you insert the word 'myself' into it (ie, If I don't watch myself, I become completely enraged) that it more accurately describes what the Hilly Ass was trying to convey.I could very well be mistaken, however, since it is always risky to assign any hint of lucidity to a member of the DUmp.
That explains a lot of the ignorance typified by the DUpipo.
