I hope you are right. I’m at the point in my doomerism where I’m begging to be proven wrong. The populace of this country continues to just strive to go lower and lower in expectations.
My biggest worry is that people falling out of the liberal mainstream end up moving predominantly to the right. The biggest problem, in my opinion, is that the left doesn’t have a compelling narrative that hooks people in the way the right does. The level of organization is far worse, and this is really what we need to focus on right now. How do we convey our ideas in a clear and appealing way that clicks with people.
It is just inevitable when even the supposed “left” movies that come out can’t help but frame revolutionaries or leftists as hippies (i.e. One battle after another) and the fascists as badasses.
