As I noted, most of the people I know socially don't really care much about politics. They hit balls around big expanses of grass and talk about kids' lacrosse practice and their sun room renovation.

They don't seem to like or be terribly annoyed by or even much interested in any of what's going on in politics. If you ask them, they'll say they don't care for Trump's behavior, but their solution is to avoid being exposed to it by ignoring it.

They seem to live a consumerist version of Leary's suggestion: Turned on (to what interests them), tuned in (to their narrow circle or class), and dropped out (of all civic engagement).
