Great. Then I guess desiring not to be inundated with political ads doesn't amount to a desire to avoid "being reminded that reality exists."

Being inundated with political ads is currently part of reality. Mere desire will not change that.

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

So would you agree that reality in 2020 was having some asshole get in your face without a mask, and if you didn't like it, then you should have been reminded that "this is reality, deal with it"?
