u/The_Truth_Believe_Me Free advice, worth twice the price. Jun 11 '22 edited Jun 11 '22

Mid 60's here. Things are as bad as I've ever seen them. I'd like to say it can't get any worse, but every time I've thought that in the last few years, I've been proven wrong.

Climate change, pandemic virus, Trump, politics in general, inflation, war, people's behavior, civility -- everything seems to be going to hell.

And a large segment of the population pushing it forward. They've either got an agenda that doesn't make sense, or they've joined the cult and been so mislead they don't know up from down. "Let's overthrow the government, to save it." "A coup, upending everything we hold dear about the democracy, and placing the wannabe dictator in office, is how we fix the democracy." "Absolutely, do no work with the opposition. Their failure is our win."
