I don't think people have gotten dumber, it's just that those generations had to interact with reality in a way ours never has. There's a reasonable chance we're about to run up against some cold hard realities in the next 4 years.

I've been saying to my therapist for months (unrelated to politics) that I think something wrong with our current society is that too many people live in a way where their actions are untethered from consequences.
This, combined with the fact that American society hasn't really had to sacrifice like in the past (the pandemic sort of counts... but it was politicized so early that people experienced two entirely different realities), makes us soft as people. We'll see what happens when the shit starts to hit the fan.
Well said. People are untethered from the consequences of their actions. And that is why, when the next legislative session begins, Democrats should sit on their hands and do nothing to prevent the GOP from passing their destructive policies. Voters need to hurt. They need to feel pain. Some will die, when RFK is in charge of the CDC. Democrats should quietly observe. Do not bail out Spesker Johnson from his crazy flank. Let тАШer rip.
