idk about that, made them more confident…sure. but look at all these local/state elections, flipping seats that have been solidly/establishment-D for decades to independents/progressives.

people are turning out in record numbers to vote for independents/progs would suggest that the “Left” in america isnt dead…maybe they’ve just been demoralized from decades of disappointment and Trump and Co. was the wakeup call they needed

not trying to dismiss your concern, things are bad and they are probably only going to get worse for the forseeable furure…but…giving up is exactly is the first/biggest move these psychopaths have, it’s a truly insidious system we’ve managed to imprison ourselves in…
