I'm not trying to make political points here, it just happens that we have 2 very actively divided political parties in the past 3+ years. It happens no matter which party is in office. I think that we don't have to look too far into our country's past to see how suddenly huge numbers of people began to wise up to how our federal representatives are playing games at our expense. Kavanaugh hearings come to mind. Trump's impeachment's blatantly unfair rules come to mind. Currently the hijacking of a bipartisan bill intended to keep people working is in the headlines and more folks are paying attention than ever before because they can see the connection with painful clarity to their own urgent needs.
People who didn't have a clue are beginning to wake up, realize the government isn't their savior and begin relying on themselves for what they need. People who were somewhat oblivious to what goes on around them are now checking to be sure their elderly neighbors have food. What I see when I go to the store (in a resort area populated by people who couldn't boil water without help last year) is not the quickie, overpriced premade meals and fancy things missing from the shelves, it's the prepper stuff. The powdered milk, potatoes, salt, dry beans, rice, batteries and tools are now in demand. Most experienced preppers already have these so it's not them. People are actively seeking out information how to take care of themselves and make things from scratch. Online sites on how to grow your own food, hunt, fish, trap, make your own medicines and the like suddenly have an explosion of followers.
It gives me hope. To me this is beginning to look more like how Americans act - with creativity, resilience, seeking knowledge, questioning what we're told and taking responsibility for our own well-being. There will always be crooks and fools around but at least there is a chance there will be fewer helpless victims.
Oh my gosh I think I've found my sister!
X2 nice post.
