[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was [b]meaningfully less happy since 2020, and I am pretty sure I would not be happier had Kamala won and Biden 2.0 disaster continued.  [/b]For people entirely disenchanted with performative politics while masses are distracted from real problems it has been a sh*t show regardless who is a power for a long while now. Trump = cartoon villain is certainly the dominating topic here and a stupid debate.

Objectively, there are many people in this area meaningfully less happy because of losing their Fed jobs, or fearing being deported, which makes sense.  These two categories have absolutely valid reasons to be a lot less happy than others.  For everyone else chugging along, what other categories of people would have legitimate hardships under this administration they didn't have already during Covid disaster and Biden's runaway train?[/quote]

This!

I find her how honest people can actually say the US is some glorious place better than every other country et al.

Our country is a mess. I'm not saying I don't want to be American but admitting that our country is in a state of shambles.  It's just not enough to say how awesome we are when we have everything from healthcare hot messes to infrastructure decay to weirdo psycho govt leadership running the show and violence and inflation scaring everyone about the future.  I'm not sure why people can't just admit the reality that we aren't the country we were 20 years ago.  We have problems and that's normal - every country does.  The ones who admit the shortcomings have the opportunity to fix them.

Whenever I see all the houses flying the flag - it's like ugh. It's not that I'm not proud to be American but why would you be proud at this point in time? It's like a kid who just got a D or F on his exams - of course the kid may be great but that score should make him uncomfortable to some extent or he'll continue to do badly.

This is what scares me most about living here into the next 20 years - nobody wants to face the decay and dysfunction and just keep reliving the glory days.  Of course no country is without its issues but seriously.  Look how far we've fallen. [/quote]
