We have a LOT of work to do because our healthcare has been severely damaged by COVID antivaxers dying and then politicians trying to cheap out in the rebuild, and our infrastructure is frail as well, and we have a Serious problem with faux-ristocrats in the flatlands just wrecking everything they can…

But it’s not bad. I won’t go bankrupt from a bad car accident, I can walk to the metro or for most of my groceries, I work from home and love it, etc.

Yeah, it’s not perfect but we can fix it once we’re done confirming girls and boys can kiss one another, that education is valuable, non-white people are cool, immigrants aren’t the cause of a housing shortage, and all that which I’m sure many other countries have a subset of. But we’ll get there.

I just hope we continue to make least-worse choices at the polls. The longer Trump is in power and dribbling into a microphone to remind us what conservatism brings, the better we are.
