It seems like we are watching the (slow) de-legitimization of American liberal democracy unfold. At least from my perspective. For example, the other day, my normally progressive-liberal parents were talking about how they would prefer to live in China at this point. It put me off guard ngl. People are losing faith, even if Biden's win has given many a brief dose of copeium. What do y'all think?

    If you think it's bad now, just wait 8 months into Biden's presidency when the death toll will have tripled and people realizing that just having a president from Team Blue isn't making things any better. Liberalism is truly dying. We're going to be seeing a new wave of anti-government sentiment counterculture real soon.

      I doubt this heavily, and if we do get any new anti government sentiment it's going to come from the fash, not the libs

      That really depends on if they do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I doubt the senile coot will be as bad as the :cheeto-man: , because I do think he'll put some boots in the asses of the states. Namely, the Dakotas to actually get things under control. That might just be a little too optimistic of pessimistic ol' me, but I do think come January there will be something done.
