For real. I have to travel often for work, which means driving through big cities, little towns and the countryside. If someone never got on the Internet, they’d never think things are like they sound online. Especially in the rural areas. Houses are all within 50 years of age, all the cars and trucks are new. People seem just fine.

There’s definitely a corrosion in the fabric of society but when people wonder how “the other side” can vote the way they do, especially in light of xyz, they don’t realize that for many folks their perception of the current state of events is reinforced by their day to day living with things being just fine.
