    Yes!

    As someone who is not American, it’s so obvious that your shit is a bit fucked. Everyone is so deeply unhappy, it’s being channelled into political partisanship.

    Honestly I don’t think there’s any way to get back on track without some kind of event that galvanises you.

      If COVID didn’t galvanize us, what possibly could?? I really can’t think of anything short of a military attack directly on the homeland.

        Probably a really good point.

        I was thinking that a more imminent or physical threat would be “galvanising” but then, the way information gets all twisted around these days, I don’t think such an event really exists.
