anecdotally i feel like i experienced the same thing during trump 1 because he heightens the contradictions so much by saying the quiet part out loud all day every day. but a lot of the new class consciousness i thought was forming disappeared overnight once brandon got in and let the libs go back to brunch
it really does come down to "the news is telling me to be mad" vs "the news is telling me everything is fine" for the vast majority of people
I too have noticed that the normie vibes are in perfect lock step with what the MSM says. My dad for example didn’t seem to think anything questionable was happening in Palestine until the day that 60 minutes did a special on Hind Rajib. Then, suddenly, maybe those activists were onto something.
