Kind of feels like there's two kinds of people out there right now in the US. Once you think we're fucked, and the ones who think they have enough generational wealth that "their" kids won't be fucked.
There's probably a sizeable third pool out there that are just watching propaganda and going everything is fine everybody's overreacting or I don't care it doesn't affect me. I think even that pool's shrinking a bit.
There's also people who are absolutely going to get fucked but are still living in a comfortable dream-world where they think someone is going to come make everything normal again.
There are whole swathes of us who are still foolishly optimistic enough to think we can pull ourselves out of this nose dive too.
I fear we're into parachute territory, we'll need to rebuild the plane from parts after we touch down.
Please don't let it be a Lost sequel...Please.....
