If you care at all about the quality of your life, then you need to be interested in politics. It isn't as simple as you put it, at least not anymore.

The country of the U.S. is in a state of crisis of which I don't think we've seen in over 150 years. Sorry if it bothers you to hear about, but this stuff is important.

Personally, I try to learn as much about other countries' politics and history to find out how the world got to where we are. If these videos or posts about the U.S. politics bother you, I would recommend just skipping over them and avoid the potential negative emotional reaction you displayed earlier.
