I'd love to see a study that aims to measure the number of people like myself who have given up. We tried dialogue, voting, protesting, etc all to try and improve life for average Americans, but it has gotten us nowhere. I'm letting go of the wheel and letting the figurative car crash into a tree.
Go figure. Republicans will always be gloomy because they are never satisfied. You can't be optimistic when you live in hate, fear, and agnst. Democrats are gloomy because we now have reason to be fearful and angst ridden. Let's see where we are in 2 years. Bet it doesn't improve.
Collectively Americans are exhausted from cultural conflicts, crushing debt, impending illness and unsatisfying lives.
The American Dream was ruined by greed, political polarization and unfair rules of law.
So odd that no one mentions education on these lists.
A decent education improves life-satisfaction more than any other single factor in life, and America has decimated its system to stay racist, keep women poor and wage-slave its men.
I’ve mentioned education in many post and am an advocate for universal college, our country depends on an educated citizenry. Many modern nations accept this notion.
Okay.But I don’t advocate education as a duty or a professional obligation. It improves quality of life period.
It makes you happier- lifelong.
Americans are very negative toward the educated because they HAVE been screwed. It’s just too mortifying to say, “I’m upset because I don’t know things.”
At the moment, kids. We’re not headed in any direction. Trump and co are headed to the economic buffet where they intend to steal your children’s future.
That is all.
Only 19% of Americans think the country is heading in the right direction as 2024 approaches. Why? Because Trump’s impending second term is a disaster waiting to happen. We’re about to relive chaos, division, and failed promises. This is not leadership, it’s a reckoning.
A lot of people here are missing an essential fact that *less than half* of people thought the country was headed in the right direction under *Biden*.
Yes, Republicans are awful and bad for the country.
So are Democrats -- and everybody knows it even if unconsciously. Dems need new leadership.
I think many people are re-assessing lots of things in their lives. Many aren't even interested, thinking everything will just work itself out. The excesses & luxuries we either have come to expect or desire have trickled down, but economy didn't.
If America lets the self proclaimed Christian cult MAGA take over, democracy will be dead before the end of 2025 in the United States. How can you expect everything to be alright, when the other side doesn't even believe you should live and you are not even human? Risk it at your own peril people.

Full circle.

Demand better schools, cowboys. Do it now.

The last election is like the Kennedy Assassination— a death occurred, we mourned, and got no answers.
That is all.
I have long term friends that are so embarrassed by being Republicans, but under NO CIRCUMSTANCES would they ever consider a liberal candidate
They love the term independent but only to protect what's left of their integrity.
FULL STOP

Resist, delay, defeat!
I am optimistic about the power of 346,000,000 Americans saying no. 22% of the population does not constitute a mandate. Resist, delay, defeat!
Vote your best interests 2026!!!
