I genuinely think most Americans want a better society where everyone is cared for. The problem lies with the very rich telling the very poor that the only way to achieve this is by exclusion, e.g. some people don’t deserve to be better off. This creates a divided country where rather than everyone being deserving of an all around better life, folks lean into the deep running individualism that permeates American culture. When the very rich control the political decisions, the media narrative, and a majority of the capitol, it’s a slow motion train wreck at the expense of the people and the environment. I think the general vibe is, disappointed but not surprised. TLDR: “Yo chat am I cooked?” “You’re burnt toast on a 110 degree day”.

The rich will keep getting richer and groceries for 2 people for 1 week will eventually cost $536.87. Also everyone in power will lack actual common sense because they've never experienced any semblance of struggle or difficulty.

Here are some direct (fr I am not exaggerating AT ALL) quotes I overheard from the group of older (white) men discussing the election at the coffee shop while watching lectures lol “And the lgbt…they want this and that…” “And we need to separate them into their own church bc it’s going off the rails with the gay features!” “They are constantly complaining. Look, money has been tight for me too before! And my dad always said, you just need to budget better.” “Did you hear? At the Kamala Harris rally, she said that we don’t allow Christians here. Well, not those words exactly. But her message was clear. No Christians allowed.“ Thx for the bangers guys

what is the justification for limiting/gutting access to social services/benefits for low income or impoverished individuals, yet allowing a form of corporate agricultural welfare through crop insurance? additionally, how do you reconcile this given that mine and your tax money could be funding crop insurance? 62% of all crop insurance for industrial farming is subsidized by the federal government (this is very dry and not at all a big hot take or “gotcha!“ for conservatives - But I grew up in the country hearing about rich farm families complaining about welfare collecting immigrants - would love to hear if they know they are bankrolled by the government for their cash crops)

You don’t need to suffer to prove that you’re a good person. You don’t have to stay with the job that makes you question yourself and you don’t have to keep dating that person you’re not quite clicking with. If something feels off then it probably is. I’m not advocating for immediately abandoning your responsibilities and throwing caution to the wind; but in our hearts we know when something is working and when it isn’t. That thing called intuition is your soul, and you can trust it.
