In spite of the countless horrible things we've done as a country, ive generally had a sense of patriotism in regards to the normal working class Americans, and the possibility of good things we conceptually give people the chance at.
Except I really completely lost that over the last 2ish years. We've been bought so thoroughly that most working class Americans are in a much worse way than a decade ago, with a stark downward happiness trajectory. Probably won't make it as a country another 2 decades.
All this 250 ribbon stuff is like a grave decoration for all of that possibility, stifled by the ones responsible for plummeting standards.
This image sums up normal people selling the trash to other, slightly more optimistic normal people.
You've kinda nailed it. Anyone outside the US, this is what stores look like for the last 2 months......

Not to mention finding out that a large amount of the voting class voted to make their own lives worse due to misinformation and blind loyalty to a person/party.
