Josh's Reflections on Political Engagement

The speaker expresses a personal choice to disengage from politics, particularly not watching a recent presidential speech, reflecting on a common feeling among many reporters and citizens amidst ongoing national crises. This decision stems from an impression that the constant barrage of political events can be overwhelming and exhausting. The point made emphasizes the reality that the current chaos is affecting everyone’s lives significantly, in contrast to the past where many could remain disengaged from political outcomes. Such reflections resonate with a broader theme of collective fatigue from the prevailing political environment, suggesting a need for personal boundaries in political consumption.
