It just so happens that dinner time normally coincides with evening news time. So we turn to our favorite network (there’s even a button for it on the remote – OFF) and talk to each other. The only thing we’ll watch while eating is Jeopardy. :)
This is based on the theory that they can’t actually hurt you if you ignore them. That didn’t work with the Black plague, volcano eruptions, the San Francisco earthquake, the Nazis, or any of the bazillion other disasters through out history, and at least this government is something we can actually do something about, provided that we DON"T ignore it and get out and vote.
We don’t have a TV in the living room or dining room. It is tucked away in the guest room, which we don’t use unless we have company – or specifically want to watch something, usually the Big Bang Theory.
Sure, you can turn off the news, and when a big pollution cloud hovers over your town, or Trump jackboot troops show up on every corner, you won’t have a clue why. How about, instead of turning off the news and understanding what goes on, we don’t elect blood pressure affecting morons to be our president.

The dumpster’s blood pressure rising until something pops would certainly lower mine (until Pence takes the oath).
