One wonders what they think they're accomplishing by shitting on those who are using the tools they have to find paths forward through this mess. Maybe they can't wait for a civil war, imagining themselves to be future heroes of some fantastic, glorious revolution. Or maybe they secretly like the idea of the unstoppable dictator they pretend to oppose.

I feel this way but I'm not trying to convince people to give up. I'm trying to convince people not to assume "things will just work out". My boomer parents keep asking me why I'm not jumping into the housing market or making other major financial decisions. They act like the structure I'd need to be in place to mitigate possible risks will definitely be there. "You'll have social security, your pension, etc because there's no way they can get rid of those things." I say bullshit. I'm in a holding pattern until we find the end of how much the GOP is able to burn down.
