Working on a video about the cancer of culture, this "racism", division, hate, violence, groups and separation. And I feel like I should give up. Just drive with the motorhome to some nature places and focus on positive things because this world is really insane.
Likely I will finish the script, but honestly the state of the world today is like metastasized cancer. Seems incurable.
Sad because we are all one species with the greatest history in the entire universe. How we evolved, how connected we are, how capable we can be.
But what can you expect from a trade based society where humans are consuming idiots in a race to accumulate more and more. Mindless. Zombies. Robots that have no purpose other than that of being a tool in a consumerist society.

I like looking at approval ratings to remind myself I live in a liberal bubble. A good example is that Trump's approval ratings this year are higher than what Biden's were last year.
Basically, if the election happened today, Trump likely would win again as he's still more popular now than the Biden administration was then.
