I'm just waiting patiently for us to hit rock bottom (apt username, OP!). It sucks to have to admit such a thing, but at this point I'm just so exasperated by everything that I just want to be a spiteful bitch and let every asshole driving our country into the ground in the name of GAWD AND FREEDUMB just up and do it already, JFC. I'm tired of waiting! Let's get some 1984 and some Handmaid's Tale and crazy political machines and fundie garbage every which way because it seems like nothing will change until the middle class caves in and eats itself alive. :/
We've pulled ourselves out of worse scrapes, but we definitely had to tank to get there.
Heck yeah! Like the last time we hit bottom and all the rich people suddenly became poor and we came out of it with a much more equal society...
Wait, that didn't happen the last time we hit bottom? Many of the people who are in the richest demographic are from the same families that were rich back then? Many totalitarian regimes that killed millions of people arose as a result of the chaos that ensued the last time we hit rock bottom? Most of the classes that were victimized the last time we hit bottom still have not recovered?
Well, who cares, I'll at least have some moral satisfaction of not having wasted any hard effort to actually fix things as I watch the world burn.

Thanks for totally assuming shit about me, I really appreciate it. Nice to know attending town hall meetings, writing to my Congressmen, going to protests, calling voters, volunteering my time and donating $ in support of candidates, etc etc ad nauseum means nothing. :Db
It's good to know you are doing the things you are doing though. I don't know you and wasn't thinking about responding to you specifically, but learning this about what you are doing makes me admire you in a non personal way.

Also, the OP here? Is a personal friend of mine. She's done the exact same thing.
