People should frame this using useful terms like "kindness" and "decency" instead of completely meaningless bullshit like "what America stands for." America was built on theft, cruelty, and greed. It stands for nothing.

SOME Americans are exhausted & waiting until the next election. The MAJORITY of Americans either voted FOR fascism, or refused to vote against it. The remaining Scions of Revolution are spent because they've voted, grumbled and exchanged memes online - what else can be expected of mere mortals?

The general belief appears to be that people sat around for years letting fascism grow, occasionally saying things like "Tsk tsk, this is just beyond the pale!" before settling in and waiting for it to blow over.

I've met so many soulmates here that it's suffocating. Enough with the deep emotional bonds and unconditional love, everybody. I need some time to be cold and alone

Unsurprising lack of self-awareness here.

Look, some people just want things to get better, but also want those things to get worse.
