> things could be worse

That's always true for all regimes at all times so it is a pointless NOOP-argument.

The attitude you communicate is essentially that "the small people" do not matter. It is precisely this attitude that empowered the regressive politicians to make life worse for everyone by weaponizing "the small people".

And if you don't think you're small people: it is just because events haven't gotten around to it yet.

Show some self preservation instinct.
