Television and movies have conditioned people to believe that things have a way of just working out. I’m not kidding, I’m serious. This is a huge problem. People believe that nothing truly terrible can happen to them, and that when danger presents some force, god, America, luck, whatever, is going to swoop in and save them.

I truly believe the American people believe this. Imo step 1 in saving America is convincing Americans that nobody is coming to save us, WE have to do the work and save ourselves. Until they put to rest the childish idea of an outside savior, they’re trapped.
