    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.
