It's the same country that just elected Joe Biden and gave us the Senate so he can actually accomplish something. He did win by more than 7 million votes, after all.

"Hearing how things MIGHT turn around"

Well, they're clearly going to change. They're already changing. There's really no "might" about it. It depends on what you "things" you consider to be important, of course, but change is inevitable.

"I see reality"

No, you see what you're looking for, just like most people, and you choose to see the things that confirm your belief and ignore those that don't. Human nature. I don't think the entire country is to blame, but then I can acknowledge that my reality is different than yours.
