    Part of the problem is that there are a lot of people who simply aren’t aware of how bad things are now. They aren’t doomscrolling reddit/Lemmy/bluesky/Mastodon, they’re doing other things with their lives. The result is that their awareness lags behind what’s going on and because the US is slipping hard and fast into fascism, they’re still thinking about Trump’s comment on “grabbing 'em by the pussy” while the CPAC is talking about ending democracy.
