IDK, lots of reasons for them to feel optimistic. ICE attacks are getting scaled back, there's a literal socialist who's a front-runner for NYC mayor, and Trump's on the ropes in a way he hasn't been in years.

This is reinforces my impression that progressives hinge their emotional well being to the news cycle, instead of things that make normal people happy.

None of my socialist/progressive type friends are doing very well anymore.

Each time I see them, things seem to be slightly worse than before.

Mine always default to this lazy form of nihilistic or defeatist humor. You show them something interesting about robotics fused with mushrooms, and they just laugh in futility and say they can't wait for the mushrooms to take over this sick world.

At the risk of sounding too "Jordan Peterson" this comes from a "victimhood mindset" where you have no agency to change things... So it's just one awful bombshell after another.

People need to accept the things they can't change, while at the same time take responsibility for making a difference where they can.
