I am convinced there's a class of Americans that just don't read *any* news at all

That’s possible, or just plain dismissing reality.

In the film Civil war, there is a violent, well, Civil war raging across the US and several characters says that their parents are living on a farm in Wisconsin or whatever, purposely ignoring what is happening in the country.

IRL, I’ve seen several American youtubers dismissing reality by saying "it will be finished in 4 years so we’ll just have to wait". Tons of people are saying they’re apolitical so they’ll just endure and wait for the shit show to end.

Ask Russians how well that goes.
They've been apolitically waiting for Putin's four years to end since 1999.
