On the bright side, trust in the media is at record lows, people have more guns than ever which combined with the year of jogger riots is killing gun control efforts, Fauci is at last getting grilled over his links to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, "conspiracy theories" like "Cuomo put sick people in nursing homes and killed tens of thousands" or "the virus came from a lab in Wuhan" are now considered facts, pushback against gender ideology is taking off, and shit like critical theory is now a mainstream talking point rather than just being what someone might bring up when describing the ideology behind SJWs. Watch that last one, because parents nationwide are getting pissed that shit is being taught to their kids.
Meanwhile, the government's decisions are widely criticized, occasionally even by their own people, and widely recognized to have been made out of paranoia and fear that tens of millions of Americans consider them illegitimate. Biden is widely perceived as incompetent and weak given the constant government failures in his first few months of office, even by his own party who are back to infighting now they've lost the unifying factor of Orange Man Bad. And even though Donald Trump should've been finished politically after the Capitol protests, he's still out there and still inspiring people and arguably where he belongs since he's an "ideas guy" and makes a shitty president.
Things aren't as bad as you think. Even if things are more insane than ever, a lot of people are starting to realize what's going on. The powers that be overreached big time in 2020.
