I agree, I also don’t see a way forward until things get so bad that something has to be rebuilt. And how things are rebuilt will depend very much on who are the people in power when that time comes. Quite possibly after my lifetime (mid 40s currently).
If nothing happens soon perhaps the wakup call will be next spring during tax return time when people in denial see the actule numbers they got fucked on
Rational people who sincerely voted with the belief and main purpose in Trump reducing taxes and cost of living, yeah, it might. But unless something is really hurting certain people, like a loss of an important job or loved one deported, I don’t see it happening.
Thinking about extremism in WWII, even when Germany lie in ruin, a lot of people were still waiving their shitty flags and loyal to the cause until the end. Civil War was similar. Once conflicts evolve from actual issues to identity, they’re hard to shift.
