A fun, obviously very very very VERY wrong, idea I think about is Trump breaking the country on purpose to reveal the flaws and loopholes, to force action to fix them. A benevolent imbecile. I wish it were the case.

Crazy how 32 years later, it applies more than ever.

Always have been 🌍 👨‍🚀🔫 👨‍🚀

Most people keep their heads down and try to lead on their lives, feeling powerless against the gov. Once people have nothing left to lose, they will start fighting back but who knows when that’ll happen.

I think it’s kinda hard to find spaces where people are gonna be willfully ignorant of the issues currently plaguing our lives. Sure, everyone wants a break from it and not think about it the latest infringement on our rights but outrage fatigue is something we need to be aware of.

Not much to add, other than I too am another person who sees the current affairs as the destruction, dismantling and sabotage of America as a country. I am not confident the country will make it to the end of this presidential term without splintering.

Part of me thinks life is gonna get really hard but some other part is more optimistic, thinking the fracturing of the states will lead to better lives for people, far far down the line. You gotta burn the old growth so the new can flourish. I wish we could just improve what we have now but it seems impossible to make progress with the current, very corrupted system.
