This is what happens if we do nothing but reward the very worst and nastiest behaviour, and we have done little but that for a very long time.
There is IMO no way out of this without basically firing everyone and replacing them with new hires straight out of education. And that’s not going to happen, so we are looking at *at least* another ten years of this apeshit derangement. At least ten years, just to wash off the worst.
It was all supposed to snap back to normal after elections in 2019, then 2024. But the politics they created are so insane - so utterly divorced from reality, requiring so much effort just to keep the bullshit straight in their heads - that it has created a new, awesomely horrible and scary normal.
