If you "went off the Information Grid" would you notice a change in Presidency?

Could you tell we had a different president if no one told you who was in office for a solid year?

  • Yes. I would be able to tell that (Insert Candidate) was in office. I will explain.

Let's say you were somehow able to live your life as you do now, except for being able to dodge all media, news and political talk all the way until 2026. Do you think your life would be noticeably impacted (better or worse) as a result of the new person in the White House?

If you said "Yes", explain what you think would be noticeably different to you.

I could have gone off the information grid starting January 7th 2021 and there would have been no difference in my day-to-day life. It would have been like 2008-2016 when the POTUS didn't even cross my mind. I wasn't even off the information grid during that time and I never heard anything about President Obama. Ever. I don't even remember the tan suit meltdown.

From 2016-2020 all I heard about was Trump. If I didn't see it online, I would hear people talking about it. He said this, or he said that, or he Tweeted this, or he shook a dictator's hand, or he praised Putin. The White House, the media, and Washington D.C. in general became a circus. It may have had a very small impact on my life, but the POTUS was no longer an afterthought.

So, to answer your question, I think it depends on who wins the election. Assuming life goes on as normal and there are no attacks on our nation or we aren't thrust into a war, I believe I could go off the information grid and my life would carry on BAU if Kamala wins. I doubt I would hear much about her at all, kind of like how it has been under President Biden that last 4 years.

If Trump wins, you won't be able to avoid the circus again. Even if you went off the information grid the day after he took office, my day-to-day would still be impacted by his presence in the White House. People would talk about him, what he's saying, what he's doing, his praise toward dictators, etc. I wouldn't be able to avoid it because I don't want to avoid people. I don't like Trump, so this would negatively impact my life.

Does that make sense?

Great idea for a poll, Faulty.
