Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised. I know quite a few people, including my wife who actively do not want to hear any information about politics for their mental health. It’s enough in my family that I keep up-to-date on it to be aware of what’s going on and can notify her of anything super important to our health and safety, but if my wife was as terminally online as I am, she would spiral into a mental health chasm relatively quickly.
She’s a physician and she already deals with enough BS out of health and human services and her patients dealing with the barrage of information that anything additional is just overwhelming.
