In my head they are very normalburger if that makes sense. They think Trump can stop the war enough to affect the market, right?

People in the U.S used to say.
"Finish your dinner , there are kids in Africa/China starving. "
Now it’s our kids going without food.
They used to say
“we have to liberate religious fanatic dictatorships of other countries”
Now we hope someone liberates us from fanatic fascist dictators.
“We are the richest country”
Poverty is high and climbing every minute.
Children are illiterate. No one can afford basic healthcare and die from preventable diseases. Lose everything they own and become homeless from cancer or a serious injury.
Sex trafficking. That used to be other countries right?
Nope. It was here. It was always this place.
It’s been rotting for a while. Causes have effects. Some people don’t seem capable of actually following the path to see the outcomes. And the few who can are often ignored.
Even my other leftist friends thought I was being dramatic this time last year.
I couldn’t get them to engage much. Now they call me, sobbing. Overwhelmed. It was all real. It was all true. It’s all over for us. We can’t come back from this without a lot more hardship.
I think people still haven’t accepted that last one.
Our children can’t even read. You think we are going to bounce back from this in 5 or 10 years?
No one will trust the U.S for anything.
Right now they are all working to stop using the dollar as the main exchange currency. Many are working on their own tech so they don’t have to use our corrupt tech.
Hell some country in Africa has their own Internet now that’s not accessible to outsiders because they are sick of the manipulation.
It’s over. And we , the citizens, will be paying for decades.
None of this will be fixed any time soon. I know no one wants to hear that. But it’s true.
Go ahead and make your peace with it. And then be ready to fight and try your hardest to support each other.
We only have each other.
I know exactly one other person in my life who has accepted this and that’s mostly cause hes just as, if not more rabidly commie, than me. We both know this is coming and know what that means but I don’t think we can know if we were really ready until after it’s over.
It feels fucking awful.
The complaints about sex-trafficking were never real or about sex-trafficking. They were the equivalent of today’s internet age gate laws that are popping up all over. It was about control then as it is now.
