- Any faith I had in the US federal government has completely crumbled.
- Much faith in state government has crumbled.
- The notion that facts, evidence, and science will ultimately win out with the American people. People seem to be largely-meme and social media driven -- on both sides of the political aisle. You could utilize such propaganda to reverse their views in a matter of hours.
- The notion that the American people will hold strong to their beliefs. Which is not true in the least. They are easily swayed. Again, this is on both sides of the political aisle.
Eg. right-wing-leaning preppers stocking gas masks and N95 masks for a theoretical pandemic and then not wearing them for an actual pandemic because "fake news".
- And something positive? At the local level, Americans seem to be rising to the occasion and helping each other out. There's not much dead weight.
