Edit: Just to clarify, my stance here is not "ignore everything Trump." He has done and will do quite a lot of things that warrant attention and concern. He's also a serial liar and world class bullshitter. A human testament to the phrase, "actions speak louder than words." Donald Trump's political success has always hinged on the fact that people are quick to forget that. He's already working overtime to distract from the fact that the majority of his campaign promises were just lies and the sooner he can make the people who voted for him forget all the pie in the sky shit they were promised, the better.
Dissociation and denial are understandable in times of despair. Sometimes, denial can fuel further despair though.
I don't think my disinterest in most of the things that fall out of Trumps mouthhole is a sign of denial. Most of these are outright lies, baseless accusations, exaggerations, narcissism, and pure hatred. I'm not obliged to let this affect my life. I'm also an EU citizen and as such I have a natural distance to US politics. (I know that the orange turd's actions have grave consequences for EU citizens too, to be clear, and this is something I can't ignore)
Our societies should in ernest gather the will to increase the distance to US politics. Plenty of countries have bad developments, but they don't affect us so substantially like US politics do.
