Truly! Yes, this is the best time in history to live quantitatively. But it is not the best time to be living in America. As a Gen Xer, I have  been an adult through the dotcom boom and bust, 9/11, the great recession, and COVID. And all of those times were better than what we are spiralling toward now. But we are in the blender and can't see it.[/quote]

Also part of why many of us are upset is because we know and appreciate all the progress that has been made to make life better. But now we see that slipping away for so many marginalized communities and potentially even ourselves.

I guess I’m a woke leftist with too much empathy (since that is a bad word now) because I’m worried about other people being shipped to foreign prisons without a hearing or because I don’t want to see suicide hotlines defunded or because I don’t want to live in a country with kids dying of measles or because I want there to be social safety nets … I could go on.

What the “we already have it so good” crowd fails to acknowledge is that those of us who are concerned are worried about the future. It’s only the idiots who are like well I have good life now so everything is fine and I don’t need to worry about what this administration is doing.

Wake up! The constitution is just a piece of paper and your rights aren’t tangible. You are not going to inherently always have the freedoms and economic stability you have now. These things must be appreciated and protected.[/quote]
