From my point of view Roe v Wade was undermined under a democrat. Deportation, genocide, and economic collapse were the 2025 outcome period. "The Republicans won't do shit" wasn't the reason voting seemed useless to me. I think there's room to speculate that the speed at which trans people get persecuted changed if you blindly voted for anyone with a D next to their name (I don't see Kamala going to bat for trans people if the house and senate proposed this anyway, and with friends like
who needs enemies), but by and large it feels like business as usual only stupider.
Maybe I don't understand your sentiment though. I took them at their word that they believed video game characters were becoming less fuckable, police weren't getting enough praise, and their economic outcomes were becoming worse.
