I wish 1/3 of the USA were trying to put the fire out... The majority of this third are just watching in horror how the fire consumes their house

They are really earnestly and as hard as they can trying to put the raging fire out with a cheap children's water pistol that isn't working very well.

100% this. Every other memper of my family voted for this. I do my best, but they're so blinded by the media and their own bias that it's almost impossible to convince them on even 1 topic.

Its incredibly sad and frustrating actually

The fact that you are there and aware of what is happening to your country is hope for change. I always sound doom and gloom in my posts but I'm also hopeful for the change. I'm Indigenous Canadian and my entire life has always felt like failure in everything me and my family has been exposed to for generations. The greatest thing I learned from all of it is to never give up ... even in the face of overwhelming odds.
