That’s fucked up about the grocery thing. My small town where I’m from would probably have the same issue, come to think of it. There’s sorta a bus that replaces a 10-15min drive to another store, but it sucks and even once you get there there’s a giant parking lot to cross. No way an elderly person is making that trip with any frequency, which they would because they wouldn’t be able to carry that many groceries.

But anyway, I think it’s also something ya’ll need to still take responsibility for. Each state still has its major failures that don’t need to be taken in a larger context in order to be criticised. They still influence the federal election, and popular vote-wise the far-right is still incredibly numerous in the US. The best the US can muster is woefully inadequate and the worst is incredibly dangerous to everyone else on the planet including themselves. So many chances to have stopped the country having gone in this direction and yet there have been decades of embarrassing failures to stop this crap. No country is a monolith, that’s not an excuse.

Oh, and as much as they were horribly wrong, awful people, Jan 6 insurrectionists showed up.
