Gratitude is in short supply this Thanksgiving. Instead, the overwhelming sentiments are grumpiness and pessimism.

‘I feel very dark’: All is not well in Normal America

Literally linguistic propaganda to make you think that this specific sentiment is universal nationwide.

“People are nastier than they used to be; they feel more comfortable being outright rude. I’m a white mum with a black daughter and I get more dirty looks now.

lol, people waking up

There’s much to celebrate about the American economy right now. Unemployment benefit claims this week hit their lowest levels in 50 years and consumer spending is strong.

Abject falsehood.

Barnett is a classic “never Trumper”, the small cohort of Republicans who recoiled at the former president’s policies and personality.

What policies? They can’t name one because none of them differed from the Democrats’ policies.

“I feel very dark,” Barnett says. “The Republican Party has lost its soul and I question whether it will ever get it back.”

Feel free to commit suicide, then. No one gives a shit what you have to think.

But when neo-Nazis stormed through the streams of Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017 he felt compelled to call out the then-president for not denouncing the white supremacists forcefully enough.

Trump literally said that all white nationalists should be murdered by the US military. That’s not forceful enough? This guy needs to be hanged from a fucking lamppost.

Keogh draws an explicit link between Trump’s efforts to use the “big lie” of election fraud to stay in office and Adolph Hitler’s use of the stab-in-the-back myth – the belief that Germany did not actually lose on the battlefield in World War I – to seize power in the 1930s.

He needs to have his license revoked. They’re not even remotely comparable.

Keogh is about to retire from teaching at the end of this school year

Good. Too late. Kill him anyway.

a milestone that prompts a sombre reflection on America.

In what capacity.

“But I’m leaving and the country is more polarised than ever and authoritarianism is on the march. It’s sad for me personally. I feel like I could have done more.”

Shouldn’t have worshipped jews, then.

I sort of expected that part of the heading would elicit replies like yours. Was tempted to omit it.

TL;DR: normies in the middle of Illinois don't understand why everything is shit after getting rid of Orange Man Bad.
