"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

The current administration is EXACTLY what the U.S. has always been. Everything we are witnessing, from abusive denigration, to fascist eugenics, to control by a few wealthy whites, this has been the U.S. since its violent founding.
Now that there is no pretense, may more people finally understand.

"coffee is only good when it is served in jim crow conditions"
Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified"
This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

What is good about this is one can learn how to stand up to authority at any point of time in their life if they are willing and able. Because I agree--standing up, speaking out, organizing, and protesting are muscles/skills that need exercising
I don't know how to say this beyond standing up to authority is a muscle and some of you have never exercised it
