I mentioned at work, when the conversation turned to the shutdown and the blame was firmly placed on democrats, that both chambers of the legislature and the executive branch are controlled by the same party. And of course o got push back that it’s all because the democrats wouldn’t compromise. And it just feeds like I’m continually slamming my head into a wall when talking to these regular everyday people. The propaganda is so pervasive, it feels like, what even is the point? How do we break our coworkers/family/friends/etc out of the lock? That is the part that I don’t understand.
