Does politics impact how you feel?

I ask this to understand, not to judge.

I see a lot of people visibly affected by the Trump re-election, to the point it affects their mental state.

I'm UK so will always feel it less, but I just can't really fathom being so affected by politics in such a way. The closest I got was BREXIT where I was disillusioned with the result, and frustrated with the lies that got us there, but moved on pretty quickly with my life. I personally chose to hope for the best as anything else was out of my control.

I'm generally left leaning, so the rise of the far right I find a sad state of affairs that chancers are latching on to. But again, it's not something I can control so try not to let it affect me.

So for those who feel more affected, what is it that causes it to impact you so much?
