Idk a lot of it is living here and looking around going “This can’t possibly continue like this indefinitely, right?”

Don't worry, things can and will get much, much, much worse. Most Americans have a roof over their heads, plenty of corn syrup to fill their bellies and enough treats to keep themselves occupied. The US is definitely declining, but an outright collapse is still very far away.

Mate, look at countries with way worse conditions than the US, like Haiti, yet shit has been continuing indefinitely

I do keep thinking about cost of living, there has to be some pressure release right? Some relief?

They're going to keep using culture war bullshit as the president release for as long as possible. People who angry about trans athletes or critical race theory or judeo-bolchevism are not going too inconvenience their rulers.
