    Lmao no fucking way. That's literally never going to happen. Americans will still be yelling "we're the greatest country on earth" after it turns into mad max

      Maybe I’m just in a bubble, and I definitely am in a bubble, but I think that illusion is fading faster than you think. Literally every young person I know is like “America is the Bad Place”, and even the Real Adults™ I know, like professors and shit, fairly wealthy white people, are at least like “Healthcare and covid protections pls :yes-honey-left:” and think the government fucked us. I can’t imagine that becoming any less true as conditions continue to get worse.

        I want to believe what you're saying but that's optimism, which is never correct

        Yeah you live in a bubble. There are Trump supporting homeless people in my city with American flags on their shopping carts. :brainworms: The brainworms are untreatable in many cases

          Oh I mean, I know some Trump supporters too. But they’re the only ones left who seem to think America is good, and they’re certainly not a majority, they’re just very loud. And even they think America’s fucked it’s just for a combination of stupid reasons and fascist reasons.
