I agree they are all connected. The main reason I make this comparison is because I feel like I hear so many young people express that these are unprecedented bad times. I don't think that's true.
The pessimistic take is that it's always sucked.
The optimistic take is that we will make it through this like we've always done.
Either way, I reject we've never seen this before.
Like I see daily folks say on social media that this country has never been more divided!
We literally had a Civil War.
Which if you want to talk about how it's all connected, the source of that conflict is pretty much the source of all political conflict today.
