Nah, brah. This is kinda true but kinda bullshit. Since they're not citing shit I'm not gonna either. I'll go vibe mode too.
People, my fellow Americans, are disillusioned because they've never known anything else. They don't want anything better because they've never been taught that better things aren't even imaginable at best, most likely an existential threat. We're peak society because fuck you, the conservative elite they told us so. It's been that way for decades, most people don't know anything else.
We're all a captive market because the system that was supposed to protect us has been corrupted and is complicit. It doesn't have to be. A huge problem is it's extremely profitable to realize this and act on the opposite side, to be evil and want to exploit everyone, especially the undereducated and marginalized.
It sucks! Talking with brainwashed fools is exhausting, but they're victims like the rest of us, and we should be working on inroads instead of division. Cut your losses for some, sure, but a lot of people are inspired by populism in both directions. We need to leverage that now.
Talk to your neighbors y'all! They're noticing the shit hitting the fan, but they're afraid to talk about it. We're in a lot of this shit because our representatives were too polite/cowardly/ineffective to hold abysmal conservative/fascist leaders accountable in the first place. We never convinced their voters that their so called leaders are con artists stealing their comfort of living as a result. It's the most obvious it's ever been now. Let's take advantage, no?
