Some Democrats turned off the news altogether after President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris this month.

“I stopped in no time,” Brandon Wilson, a California professor, told the Washington Post after Harris’ defeat. The outlet reported that he regularly watches MSNBC on SiriusXM. Another woman said she “falls asleep most nights watching CNN’s Anderson Cooper.” the Post reported.

MSNBC saw its ratings drop and saw its lowest figures in 25 years in the week following the elections.

“We’re all thinking a lot about what this win is going to mean, and the last thing I need is a lot of stuff that raises my blood pressure,” Wilson added to the Post. “It’s like blaming the candidate for some obvious problems with the electorate, like misinformation and misinformation.”

PSAKI ADMITS DEMOCRATS MADE A MISTAKE BY TRYING TO NEVER ATTACK VOTERS AND IGNORING DISAFFECTED DEMOCRATS

Wilson specifically pointed out those who questioned where Democrats made mistakes right after the result. There was plenty of finger-pointing from Democrats after the defeat, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who suggested during a post-election campaign interview that President Biden should have dropped out of the race sooner.

“I don’t even want to know what kind of outrageous thing he’s going to do,” Mullins said after telling the Post that she had started listening to audiobooks instead of news podcasts. “I’m resigned to saying, ‘He’s going to do outrageous things, and we’ll deal with it when he’s gone.'”

Andrew DelPonte told the Post he read every page of Project 2025, and said he turned off his Apple News alerts and stopped listening to NPR following the election.

“I don’t need to hear the daily preparations about what they’re doing to disenfranchise millions of Americans every day,” he told WaPo.

“Maybe I was so overinformed before this election that now I just need to take a step back,” DelPonte added. “The things I think I have control over are the things that are useful right now.”

Another told the outlet he had to create a “no Washington-Post after 7 p.m.” so he could sleep at night.
