I've been trying to help fix it for like 15+ years at this point, I just genuinely don't see a path forward. This country was broken long before Trump, and people just didn't seem to care. Now that it's starting to personally hurt them, I've seen more people start to turn up, but many of them have the attitude of "I can't wait for this to be over." I expect as soon as Trump is out and replaced with a Democrat ghoul, a lot of the attendance at the meetings I go to will drop again.

When Balkanization starts getting put on the table as a serious solution that would meaningfully make things better, you know a situation is incredibly fucked.
