I fully empathize with what you're saying, agree with it in many parts, but unfortunately, this is a public forum! And I'm actually quite concerned about the potential for any statement I make to be misconstrued as an incitement to violence (nevermind that countless Dems made literal incitements to violence all of last year).
To say the least, I know a lot of people who are very, very tired of this shit. And I think there are encouraging - nonviolent - signs out there of pushback. Social media is fracturing, viable alternatives to the standard big tech offerings are now available, university enrollments are way, way down, gun ownership is at the highest level ever and even liberals are starting to realize that the second amendment has value. Even, of all the things, r/coronavirus has taken a massive shift in sentiment against government lockdowns, mask wearing, and started to realize they've been fed dogshit for the past year.
I do think Western societies are in decline, and I don't think it's reversible, but it won't occur without significant resistance.
