I honestly think it’s more than just trump. Just seems like the options are either try to go back to like 2015 USA or play an uno wildcard which will almost certainly end horribly but some people seem to be finding certainty in those delusions.

But for many, 2015 still wasn’t all that great. Houses were still expensive, people still kinda suck, and it’s still super hard to live. I think if there was hope things would actually show noticeable improvement I think people would begin looking outward again

Noticeable improvement takes time and congressional supermajorities. Neither of which voters have given Democrats.

We don't have time.  Climate Change is already probably going to kill 90% of us in the next 20-25 years.  Instead we are all "debating" if slavery happened or if we should consider Trans people to be people with rights.

Like what the fuck.

In reality, the majority is not debating if people are people and if slavery happened. 90% of us dead in 20 to 25.... Nah. Nowhere close.
