Unfortunately that’s the much more likely result

That’ll probably be a part of the reaction to the propaganda and delusions shattering, yeah. This is based on the violent :cope: of white Americans to anything that remotely acknowledges their own privilege or that many of their ancestors committed genocide.

Suddenly not getting their treats for the same “low cost” and then having to put those pieces together is going to set off a monstrous reaction.

Maybe I’m just in a bubble, and I definitely am in a bubble, but I think that illusion is fading faster than you think. Literally every young person I know is like “America is the Bad Place”, and even the Real Adults™ I know, like professors and shit, fairly wealthy white people, are at least like “Healthcare and covid protections pls :yes-honey-left:” and think the government fucked us. I can’t imagine that becoming any less true as conditions continue to get worse.
