Does anyone else feel like they're living in an insane asylum (r.50501.chat)

Does anyone else feel like they're living in an insane asylum or some sort of alternate reality? Fortunately I do have a few people in my life who see how serious this all is, but at my job and out in public it seems like everyone is going around business as usual.

Aside from going to the protest on April 5 and one upside down American flag on someone's house I've seen nothing to indicate that other people realize the turmoil we're in. No bumper stickers, no protest signs on lawns, nothing. Everyone seems to be doing their thing exactly as if the country wasn't collapsing beneath us.

What is going on?

Because they live in a news or ignorance bubble. To them, everything is fine. And for them everything is often fine, in their own little neck of the woods.

I work in a logistics company and people on the west coast are confused that their packages were delayed last week. They completely missed the giant storms happening in the Midwest. No-one bothers to be informed about anything in this country.
