This thread reads like a barometer of American civic psyche: weary, divided, self-protective, and in some cases, morally unsettled. It reveals not only how people see the U.S. but how they see themselves in relation to the world—rooted or adrift, angry or resigned, hopeful or nostalgic.

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays I think I’m in the resigned category. I see bad things coming and don’t want to be here for it. I don’t believe I have any ability to change it. No amount of letters to my congressman is going to work. My votes don’t count (as an independent, they truly count for nothing. as a democrat in the south, they count for very little) so that’s disheartening. I will keep voting because I can, but none of it seems to matter

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays that was terrifying to listen to.
