People are banal. American people are especially banal, because most have not experienced any want or lack for two generations. The result is such a horrific indictment on our culture - "President" Biden's popularity is still polling above 35%. The madness of this is beyond words.
When you add some economic suffering to the equation, suddenly his support on every issue will crater. The polls showing that 55% of Americans believe the election was stolen will shoot up to 75%. Support for global warming, CRT, everything will swing against the regime when snack time and nap time are disrupted for our hyper-pampered society.
Yea - it's going to suck. Lives will be ruined. I type this knowing that my livelihood will likely be disrupted severely. It is what it is - no economic hardship, no Great Awakening.
This was my husband and my childhood. It made us tough mother bleepers. It’s a generation X thing to grow up with this knowledge. It led us to not use credit cards and pay off our house rather than cashing out the equity. If we can make like 8k a year we can keep the lights on and taxes paid. Oh, and we still grow a garden and can at this point it’s healthier than store bought food. We fix our cars. They are older cars, we shop thrift and rummage. We actually have money to enjoy things like vacation and concerts without charging it.
I’m proud of my humble life but not too proud to say it’s all from God.
