Tbh as someone who is almost 20 this is the greatest societal shift I’ve experienced other than the pandemic, in my mind.

I was thinking today about how different this year feels. Not just in terms of my job and lifestyle, but in terms of the world. Even in 2016 (yes, I read the news at 11 lol) I didn’t feel like I was just reading constant negativity on the news. Especially on this website. Nothing I hear is ever positive. This is a legitimately huge shift, everyone I know on Facebook is talking about what’s going on in the political realm right now. You can’t escape it, it’s very serious. It’s true that there’s a conservative backlash. It’s just so weird to be living through it. I mean I grew up on tumblr and Steven universe. I somehow had it my mind that the average person was more decent than they actually are.
