Just talking to people on this forum you might get the sense that things are pretty bad. People seem very angry and unsatisfied. Is that true though? Nobody really starves in the U.S other than freak situations. Most people can find some kind of employment and decent shelter. Are your lives really so bad that it justifies the anger in politics?
Oh, it depends on your economic & social situation.
Compared with the majority of people in this cursed world, life in the States is good.
If you have a good job that pays well, you can live in a safe neighborhood, drive a nice car (instead of risking public transportation), and buy all kinds of creature comforts. As the cliche goes, the officially "poor" people in this country live better than many "middle class" people in other countries.
I think that some people are angry and fearful, however, that we will be losing some of our freedoms, especially freedom of speech. I think that they are right.
If we do, most Americans will just do what people have always done throughout history: concentrate on their personal lives & tune out politics. For example, some people have no intention of watching the Inauguration.
