If anyone needs a reminder that everything isn’t as awful as the media might lead you to believe, here are some sites to help you with that:
20+ years ago, my PUBLIC high school history teacher busted Zinn’s book out during class, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_People's_History_of_the_United_States. Definitely an eye opener but these days he would probably have a bunch of Karen parents complaining about it.
Behing hopeful for better times during a bad time is different from being delusional of living in a good time while in fact living in a dystopian hellscape.

Seems like they have grasped it. By pretending like everything is fine and dandy (like, for example, by reading from exclusively positive news sites, as the top comment on this post suggests), individuals become complacent and let things like, I dunno, a women’s right to bodily autonomy, slip through their fingers.
Being hopeful to fix something fucked up is still admirable. But you gotta first recognize there’s a problem.
