This is great advice. I think they may have miscalculated on the "overwhelm" bit, though, and instead of getting people to tune out, they have cranked up the "pissed off" knob to about 7.5. - ThreadSky

I'm surprised you aren't burning things already, to be honest.

I think they've cranked up that knob for people who are already highly engaged. But most people aren't following that closely. The non-politics people I know are basically sticking their heads in the sand because it's too much too fast.

I guess we'll see. The non-politics people I know are pissed.
