For sure man. I also deeply miss our American culture the way it was pre 2016. Movies and concerts and dance choreography were my shit. I used to do amateur ghost hunting gigs with some friends way back as well as urban exploration.

It was so cathartic to get completely embedded in such hobbies like that. Or going paintballing every other weekend and completely immersing yourself in fake gun fights haha. I miss that shit so much.

Nowadays it seems like everyone is just too hyperpolarized for much of that spontaneous fun I used to have with people of all backgrounds to be as easily manifest as before.

For an extrovert like me it was baffling to hear from so many "friends", that we could no longer be associated together because if I support Trump, it means I suddenly hate black people, women and think the military are suckers and losers 😑

I have faith that one day we can return to such times.
