The negative vibes are indeed really powerful. I feel like recent shootings have just punctuated this long standing sense, particularly since the beginning of the pandemic, that this country is dedicated to self destruction.

Help us understand this country's increasingly bleak social political reality,. and people's societies, the states, cando, everything's commitment to doubling down on that bleak social and political reality.
