It seems that people like being in crisis, rather than having stability. (lemmy.world)

100% agree.

That said, I was pretty happy when most of Biden's first term (except the withdrawal from Afghanistan) was pretty silent in terms of political news. I don't really agree with what he did (or rather didn't do) as President, but I liked that I didn't really feel the need to pay attention.

Some of us prefer forgetting that government exists outside of tax and election seasons.

This is a perfect encapsulation of privilege. People aren't upset that Trump is doing horrible things. They're upset that he's doing horrible things that might affect them. They want a Democrat who only does horrible things in other countries, so they can brunch in peace.
