Same thing here. Mine is hardcore MAGA and both Senators are 100% shills. Also no one in my area cares... they all think Trump is going to do a great job and save everything. There are two Democrats in Congress from my state but neither one is capable of fighting anything. I don't know what to do but watch it burn.
It's likely to be taken away anyway. There is a vocal group in the US pushing for more isolation and less funding for those types of aid. The Trump admin will keep raising the vig if you capitulate now.
For the case of your job or school you either use what is required or you need to find another job or school. That might not be popular but it's the reality. Other relationships don't have that kind of pull. Maybe RCS could fix some of it but given what happened with XMPP I'm doubtful.
The only one that is difficult to replace is Facebook. It's still the best way to keep up with family and friends from all over. I also like Facebook Marketplace and haven't found a substitute that is as good.
A minimal popular vote win gave him multiple wins at so many levels it's sickening. And how the media pretends like he's not who he is amplifies the sense it was a huge victory.
I believe all but the most hardcore MAGA believe that at some level. No one will admit it. One of my favorite childhood stories was "The Emperor's New Clothes". I never thought I'd live to see it happen in real life.
I'd like to believe that but assuming he dies sometime during this term or shortly after he will be deified by his base. I also have a feeling the media and history will treat him more kindly than he deserves.
If the flag were at half mast to mourn Trump's passing and a Democratic president were being inaugurated I'm sure we'd be having a different conversation.
I would get a subscription notice that I was over the limit of free articles for thee month. Same effect as a paywall. You might not have read enough articles yet.
I found an article that wasn't paywalled. Pulled a pistol on police during a traffic stop and failed to lower his weapon when instructed. What an idiot.
Best of luck
