CNN’s poll finds that more than half of political independents are either dissatisfied with or indifferent to both political parties – but different blocs of independents hold notably different attitudes.
And within the parties, people are more vehement in their dislike of the opposition than in their enthusiasm for their own party. The Democratic Party last saw positive ratings from a solid majority of the country in February 2009, while the Republican Party last saw a favorability rating of 55% or higher in February 2005.
It’s been 23 years since Americans gave both parties ratings that were broadly positive at the same time.

Almost half of Americans are still blissfully unaware of the utter and total shit they're in...
As is most of the Western world... 😒
I think throughout most of human history most people have tried really hard to believe "this is fine" regardless of what's going on and periods of time that we see as having massive unrest involved like 50% of the population openly saying "this sucks" and maybe 20-25% saying "this sucks and I'm willing to do something about it"
I agree these aren't the best of times, but I'm also not certain there will not be better days. The more people that decide this is it and give up, the more likely the best is behind us.
Thoughts and prayers 🙏
