US Millennial here. I get why we’re upset all the time. All my life I’ve seen some sort of progression that has felt like it was going positive even if it was slow as fuuuuuck. However, in the last 11-12 months I’ve seen all of that raped by a bunch of narcissistic, racist, fuckwads who are only looking for power grabs.
I’ve always known the world is cruel and unfair. So I’ve expected it, but I didn’t expect how fast everything here at home would deteriorate. Especially coming from a family where my Grandpa served in the American army in WW2 and married a German survivor and now my parents are all up in Fox News, OAN, and Facebook propaganda.
that's what politics has always been. it's just more transparent now. it's not the act that upsets you, it's the obviousness of it all rather than it being done quietly. it's the quiet part being spoken outloud
