Check in here if you have Outrage Fatigue.

[milestogo]

I find myself wanting to watch ANYTHING but the news, as it is so infuriating I can't take it any more.

[Blue Owl]

1. It's directly related to Orange Fatigue

n/t

[nocoincidences]

2. Oh lordy,

tell it brother...

[no_hypocrisy]

3. Not me. I grew up with a father just like Trump. I'm always raring to go

for a fight.

[TEB]

6. I understand you on that about dear old dad

Yup let’s get it on

[Pepsidog]

27. I like your spirit, it's inspiring.

[calimary]

44. I kinda did, too. Modified version.

He had a few things in common with trump, but racism was not one of them.

[dewsgirl]

4. Here, the only news I have actually watched all day, is Rachel right now(huge for me)

I can't stay off DU and Twitter though.I think my anxiety won't let me, I live in constant fear he is seriously going to do God knows what, and we are going to be in serious trouble.

[Laurian]

5. Me!

I was just thinking about how exhausted I am by Trump and worrying that others may be “checking out” of this daily (hourly) nightmare due to the outrage fatigue. Then what?

Opposition and resistance are vitally necessary, but I’m ready for a break.

[Still In Wisconsin]

7. For sure... I think even some Republicans wake up and wonder,

what the fuck has he done now?

[elleng]

8. Getting there.

I only 'watch' after NewsHour; hope something tolerable tonight.

[bluestarone]

9. EVERY day i get pissed BUT

I keep coming back for more i guess!

[Different Drummer]

10. ...

[bdamomma]

11. That is what

they want us to do they want to wear us down mentally, Nope it's not going to happen. It should embolden us. All I can see is Stephen Miller laughing at us. His ass needs to be rounded up.

Shock doctrine Naomi Klein warned us.

[Ilsa]

12. I try to skip all news on the weekend unless

there is something I have to keep up with. I have to have a few days' break from trump.

[csziggy]

13. I've been there since just before my back surgery at the end of March

In a few days my husband and I are leaving the country for a few months. I might catch some news but I am not going to stay on top of it like I normally do. Well, I will probably read DU regularly - when I can get an internet connection.

Mostly for the last few months I have been watching streaming TV series, both old and new. It is decidedly good for my blood pressure.

[BigDemVoter]

14. ummmm yes

[JI7]

15. im not outraged but it's more in the sense that i expect it. so it's not shocking

but it's still gross, disgusting and im full of hatred of him and his followers.

[Jane Austin]

16. I'm more heartbroken now

than outraged.

[Brother Buzz]

17. I experienced it in the first thirty days with the orange anus

Then something clicked deep in my brain when I was thinking of the late great nothingshocksmeanymore, and decided to make it my mantra - Nothing Shocks Me Anymore. Suddenly I was able to stay focused and fight the good fight. Calm and collected, Baby!

Also, I wish I could remember who used to end every post with NEVER GIVE UP!

[smirkymonkey]

18. I am completely burnt out. I cannot stand to see or hear that vile, disgusting creep anymore.

I really can't. I feel damaged by him. However, that does not mean I am not going to do everything I can to get out the vote and to tear him down every chance I get.

I just need to pull away from time to time. He is so toxic. I honestly cannot wait until he is six feet under. I will rejoice at reading his obituary.

[get the red out]

19. Yes

Getting through the past 2 1/2 years has been like eating hot sauce to the point that all taste is gone and there is only continuous pain.

[Nitram]

20. Set in quite some time ago. I'm just smoldering and biding my time now.

But politics doesn't consume me. I actually have a life.

[catbyte]

21. *Sigh*

[doc03]

22. I rarely watch the news anymore I am just sick of a daily outrage

from Trump and seems nothing can be done.

[Tripper11]

23. Most definitely

It is mentally exhausting.
He has to go and take his swamp dregs with him.

[triron]

24. Only watch Rachel.

[BarbD]

25. It's a continuing challenge to maintain some kind of balance.

And, my glass is half full. There's just so much chocolate I can eat and romance novels I can read.

But, damn I absolutely refuse to give up. I will not give them the satisfaction.

[kacekwl]

26. I get so angry and frustrated because it seems

trump and his cohorts just keep plowing along like a meth driven horse with no rocks or tree stumps in the field to stop him.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

28. I'm pacing myself!

Slow down a couple of laps, walk with my hands on my hips for a couple of minutes, then get right back into it. Overexerting in this heat will kill you. But yes, I'm fatigued. Outrage is hard emotion to keep up. One thing is for certain, Trump and the republicans don't miss a day without giving the opportunity to kick it up a notch again.

[LuvLoogie]

29. My reply to those wanting to ignore, followed by my last FB post...

This is the president who directs policy that affects over 300 million citizens.

His rhetoric matters because it reinforces every bigoted notion squirming through the minds and souls of his ever devolving base.

Every public evacuation of his face bowel weaponizes another hate-addled minion.

Yes its uncomfortable, yes its exhausting. But we must continue to shed a light on his foulness--because his supporters and recently regretful voters, that WE personally know, ignore it.

On FaceBook:

Snowflakes are the iceberg that will sink the trumptanic.

Keep falling from the sky, gentle crystals. The solidarity of light resolve will defeat the arrogance and hubris of the weaponized cowardice that would pretend at banners and slogans.

In your little corner, resist. In your heart be glad, for you are not alone.

[Lithos]

30. My wife and I have a routine

Where we ask - what has dipshit done today.... And the usual response is - yep, about the same as before...

L-

[58Sunliner]

31. My father, who left early, was a narcissistic, violent, sociopath.

He even looks a little like DT. Every day I take a mental baseball bat to his mug. I know it's not healthy. I hope natural causes take over real soon. Between the child molesters and rapists, it's old home week. I'd ask if it could get any fucking worse, but I know the answer, cause I'm not in a cell at the border.
Thanks for the post.

[onecaliberal]

32. I can't watch much anymore. I read and watch pointless crap

[Sogo]

33. Yes, but it only makes me think of his mother...

...and the hell she must have gone through raising him. I'm sure that's why they sent him to the military academy. He must have driven them nuts.

[Ford_Prefect]

34. I find that I cannot listen to the news any more. I read it but I can't listen.

The fools on TV, ALL of them, keep repeating his words as though they were reporting fact instead of delivering propaganda.
They do not think, nor add context, nor even fact-check. They simply cheer-lead our feelings about it all. The MSM and PBS alike.

I find it particularly painful to listen to them repeat his and the GOP lies as if there were nothing else to say. They are paid thousands of dollars to say it convincingly, sincerely, yet they cannot speak a simple truth about it such as the fact that he has not the authority he claims to issue some of the commands and directives. Those powers are within Congress or the Law and anyone with a public school civics class behind them could confirm it. He sets them up and they provide punchlines, over, and over, and over.

I spend time volunteering and helping people in the most simple and direct ways I can to feel as though at least something is being done.

I am tired to death of the rat fucking of the progressives by the DNC and the other apologists, too.

[customerserviceguy]

35. If all of us, who are political aficionados

are getting burned out, imagine what is happening with swing voters (who I call the mushy middle) who really don't want to think about either politics or politicians until maybe the weekend before an election.

[thenelm1]

36. Yup - I'm there

My, usually, good natured self is exhausted & exasperated by this shit stain. The part that really burns my butt is that his 'character' was totally known many years ago, if one was paying any attention. He's always been an a-hole and maroon! I never saw his TV 'show' thankfully - didn't even know about it. And even if I had, you couldn't have paid me to watch - but what butthole thought this was a good idea?

[Stinky The Clown]

37. Yes, and it is the intended result

Living in front of a firehose of malevolence spewing non stop.

[Leith]

38. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one

I'm so sick of hearing about that thing I could scream.

[Mr.Bill]

39. Fatigue?

Hell, I'm just getting started.

[ooky]

40. Check.

[Moral Compass]

41. Yeah, I got it.

[Midnight Writer]

42. What fatigues me is friends, neighbors, co-workers, family, STILL sticking up for Trump.

For God's sake, what is it gonna take?

Talk radio is where they get their talking points. It is really a big thing around here. 24/7 turn on the radio and a dozen conservative talk shows across the band talking up Trump.

[PSPS]

43. It's an industry now. The "outrage industry" that pumps out endless "outrage porn"

It generates clicks, keeps people listening to and watching programs (and commercials) they never would ordinarily listen to or watch. It's a masochistic exercise. You watch/listen, get riled up, and ... what? What's the point? There's nothing you can do about any of it anyway. Why put yourself through it? Just unplug. Disconnect yourself from the outrage industry. Change the channel. Find something productive to do with your time (and life.) You can still keep up with important things by skimming headlines in normal places like your local newspaper. Avoid TV, especially cable "news" shows, which are really just opinion shows and are a major player in the outrage porn industry.

[BigmanPigman]

45. I thought it was just me and my failing physical health...

this makes me feel better (sort of).

I want to live long enough to see him impeached or voted out with the largest margin ever then he goes directly to jail with his evil spawn and corrupt, racist, misogynist enablers and assorted dregs of society.

[LW1977]

46. Tired of it..

[Pachamama]

47. Exhausted....

[redstatebluegirl]

48. We have been watching a lot of old movies and old sitcoms.

Not sure why, I just can't watch the orange menace any longer.

[milestogo]

49. Watching the crime channel or stories about serial killers is more uplifting.
