This is such a sharp take on why nostalgia is gripping everyone rn. The bipartisan point really hit - never realized how both sides are clinging to diferent versions of a past that wasn't actually better. I catch myself doing this constantly with like 2010-era social media, when honestly I was just as stressed then. The part about honesty being a personal choice not a group project is really the move.
After shoveling snow for a few hours, I'm totally knackered... too exhausted to say something meaningful, but this post is very sobering... My favorite Substack "strategist" is uttering particularly profound thoughts here...

Thank you! It’s so easy to romanticize the past and hard to take accountability in the present but we can try our best!
Brilliant! Needed the salve after two horrendous weeks. Thank you from CA.
You're so welcome. Sending you big hugs, Deborah!
This was a great read!
Thank you, my queen! Sending you lots of love in these unhinged times <333

It happens occasionally! Stay safe and warm out there ❄️ don’t fall into a snowbank!
I'm in a snow-blank... mentally and physically exhausted by everything... Can we make 2026 a snow year.. just take this year off the calendar?
