Like there’s just no more talk of “the American dream” anymore. It’s never been real but we all know now exactly how much bullshit that is. It’s like the facade has been fully torn away and we’re all tied to this terrible husk of a machine that doesn’t even have the decency to pretend things will get better anymore
I think that when Trump got elected it shattered the facade, even though a lot of people want to hang onto it. I remember in 2008 a lot of people thought Obama becoming President meant the American dream was still alive and prejudice would become a thing of the past. Besides mainstream libs idk a lot of people who are hanging onto American dream ideals.
