Yes, but ignoring the news and political changes is kind of a luxury, it means your life is secure enough that you can afford not to pay much attention to any of that stuff because you feel confident it won't affect you personally.

For example, I happened to take a note of the two most retweeted claims of Trump-related hate crimes I saw right after the election so I could follow what happened with them later - both turned out to be fake.
