I dunno, I'm feeling some optimism. Biden's work has been undoing decades of Reaganomics policies, with impressive results. The process of holding politicians accountable is gradually doing its thing. Progress fighting climate change is slow, but real.

Extremists are making as much noise as ever. But that could be because they've a) backed themselves into a political corner that they don't know how to get out of despite extremism being unpopular, and b) certain politicians may be worried that if jail time is going to be handed out the law will come for them next so they're making longshot attempts at stopping those dominos from falling.

In 2024 Biden will have the advantage of being an incumbent during a period of economic growth (if all goes well), Republicans have lost some of the skewed congressional districts they had previously, and the young voters that surprised people in 2020 & 2022 will be joined by a new cohort.

When you're living through a sucky period of history things are sucky until they aren't.

Yeah

Oh I was only just old enough to understand the significance of politics 4 years before I made the meme (it's a few years old now as well)
