If anything, these elections should teach us that we shouldn’t be putting our faith in the political process. This generation is learning from experience why previous generations didn’t care to discuss politics; it’s all crapshoot and we are better off focusing on things we can have substantial impact on.
This is true. It is all about social validation for them. Parroting Russian propaganda to TEAM PSYCHOCULT, flexing and intimidating to feel bad ass, screeching about quasi-racist epithet LIBERALS. Any attempt for “discussion” turns out exhausting and fruitless, as fascists dont give a shit about sincerity or even making sense.
problem is that small-town politics are usually red-dominated
That’s why more progressive people need to get involved at that level - to offset the MAGAts who are trying to insert their bullshit into school boards and municipal politics.
It takes very few people to change things at the local level.
Get off of social media?
