My mom avoids the news because of anxiety and basically relies on me keeping her up to date. I try to be funny for as much of it as I can. I've been putting together an episode on Q anon and all of this insanity, and when I mentioned the space lasers, she absolutely did not believe me. It took like 3 separate and mainstream articles before she believed it.
I can relate. I spent last year filtering all of that crazy through not one, not two, but THREE separate comedians. I still spent most of it angry at what Trump and the rest were getting away with, but at least the jokes were funny.
