Nothing makes me feel better about the hopelessness in America more than platitudes. (/s)
The fact here is that most people are paying triple for groceries, 30-50% more for their rent, and have to work multiple jobs to survive. They're not going to care that Trump or DeSantis are fascists. They're going to care that Trump or DeSantis aren't Biden.
Good may come of it, but not without a ton of carnage in the interim.
This isn't a platitude.
This is the eternal cicle of social democracy. Not good enough, riches getting richer and poor pooring, inevitable the fascism should arrive to give an answer that is not related with the ruling class, but an external agent.
I track my groceries very closely and I am paying about 9% more than last year.
