My mom is getting pretty aggressive about spouting political stuff, so I had to explain to her that non-obsessed people have other things to think about besides politics. I also explained how I had to drop several prolific polly-posters from my timeline, and how much better I felt once I got rid of people dumping their trash in my face.

Naturally, she didn't want to hear that, but it is true. People feel better and enjoy life more when they limit how much politics they absorb.
