I actually feel the same, but I was trying to not be too much of a downer.

Yeah, it can wear on you.

I keep my subscribed feed clear of politics because the political content that spreads on social media is evolved/selected to be compulsive/clickbaity so I don't even want it touching my eyes.

Dull Men's Club is a great community because everything that makes for compulsive content isn't 'dull' and I suspect it's a lot more of a bipartisan community than most places given the types of expertise that some of the user's display.
