I haven’t been on Instagram since January 20th. I didn’t want to receive real-time updates on the inauguration or read every vile thing that was said during it. And, crucially, I didn’t want to be inundated with the online leftist response to it: the overlapping barrages of doomerism, finger-pointing, futile-feeling action items, and platitudes about togetherness. I was spiraling towards a breakdown, and so I logged off for the day. And then, I didn’t feel much desire to log back on.
