nothing. Maybe I’m too tuned in- I’m a news junkie- but I’m obsessed. But these group chats are discussing random stuff - Larla got into X college, does anyone want to meet up to go antique’ing?, happy birthday to Larlo! Etc.

Are we like people in the Weimar Republic who went about their daily lives as their country was taken over by nazis?

I'm saying you have absolutely no clue whether your friends care more than you do or do more than you do.

I’m in OP’s position too and I think it’s because people are terrified and understand appealing to Schumer and co won’t save our kids from the fall of this empire.

I’m saying you don’t know her crowd so let’s accept her take and maybe work on being productive yourself.

Then her issue is her friends don't care and don't do anything, it's not about what they post online. That part is just bullshit signaling.

I know my friends care about Trump and his crew. I'm not worried about that. It sounds like you are. Why?
