I am not ready to give up hope, but it does look grim. It is not hyperbole to say that the two biggest instigators to our current issue are Fox and Facebook. Living in Alabama saw it take root and begin corrupting in real time. If those forces can be overcome we have a chance.
The moment I gave up all hope was during the Baltimore riots of 2015 while reporting in the streets. It had very little to do with Fox or Facebook. Almost every aspect of civility had been revealed to have failed, prior to the date, straight up to cops executing each other before they could testify against each other.
Our institutions in America are beyond repair.
Trump was just able to capitalize on the disenfranchised. As we watch things unfold with the exit from Afghanistan, it's difficult to have much faith in it returning anytime soon.
That's why I got a new puppy and live very far from the general population.
Enjoy the little things in life
