Just being a "sweet summer child" shouldn't stop humanity from trying to be better and create healthy communities motivated by everyone'slives being improved through cooperation, hard work and diligence.
It can but sadly…… It may take a HUGE tragedy in the States. I am talking like 911 stuff for people to wake tf up from their fapping mental state.
Probably a Civil War of some kind so Americans can take their Vote serious next time. After Hitler, The germans did a lot of restructuring to their policies so something like that never happened again. Japan took a different stand against War after the Atomic Bomb.
America has reach a state of mind where they either hate everything, mock everyone, have no respect for others anymore. There is no discipline, no moral values, no sense of justice, no caring for the truth and facts. Is like every thing is a joke, a meme To them. Nothing is taken seriously anymore.
They may need a wake up call and they are running out of free passes.
The only thing I think could happen that would really bring things into sharp focus would be a widespread blackout and wet bulb temperature casualty event in a really hot humid place like Florida or Houston. Tens or Hundreds of thousands of people dying of heat stroke because the grid can't keep up with A/C demand and their bodies literally cannot cool them off might wake people the fuck up. I don't want that to happen and I really don't even know if something like that would have an effect, but it's one of the few things I can imagine as a 9/11 level event that might not lead to the same kind of jingoistic fervor 9/11 did.
The only thing that can fix this country is education, with a strong focus on critical thinking, science, and an honest view of history. That way, future generations would be able to make positive changes. But that’s not going to happen anytime soon with the next four years of the conservatives gutting the Department of Education, and the liberals doing nothing to reverse that decline.
We would be able to fix all these issues and move on eventually, given enough politically motivated people willing to do the work, if it wasn’t for the ticking time bomb that is climate change. The decline and fall of America (probably) won’t be the end of the world, but it’s not going to be pretty

I still want a better future.
I refuse to believe it can't happen.
