What do you guys think about this year, 2020? I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’m starting to see things going back to being super anti—capitalistic, kind of like the early 2010s. It makes sense cause whenever the economy is bad, that’s when capitalism is looked down upon. Thrifting has been huge for a couple of years now, but this year especially I’ve seen people talk about how bad fast fashion is. Honestly, I don’t see any year of the 2010s as especially excessive. I think this has been a very low-key decade overall. Yeah, we had things such as fidget spinners and selfies, but every decade has their little fads. The fashion and style is also minimalistic, pretty much throughout the whole decade. And during the Trump era, the alt right was definitely prominent, but I’ve always seen it as a counterculture, or a backlash to the mainstream, which in the 2010s, is super liberal. Maybe it’s just because I’m in liberal circles, but it seems like most people hate Trump and the alt right is just a big wart that is growing on America. Anyways, when you compare any year of the 2010s to the 2000s, it seems clear that it is much more progressive. Well at least, it is much more divided. It’s very clear what side you stand on nowadays. You’re either progressive, or you reject progressivism. There is no gray area anymore. In the 2000s, you could get away with saying a lot more questionable stuff. Those people either became less ignorant and changed with the times, or became hardcore Trumpsters. There was a period around 2017/2018 where everything was about Gucci gang, Supreme shirts, AirPods, "flex" culture, Instagram influencers, Trump etc. that was very off-putting. I think it started to wane towards the end of 2019 and I hope the pandemic has killed it off for good. My Gen Z sister says thrift shopping is very in right now and that all her friends have become communists. I think I went through a similar phase circa 2008/2009  People talked up Gen Z being a conservative, traditional, "white & proud" generation 4-5 years ago and I'm glad it ended up being only a 4chan meme. Trump was a Boomer/Gen X thing.

Ostentatious displays of wealth are a huge turn off and gave the late 2010s a tacky nouveau riche vibe.

Trump was never really popular with the majority of the population, I mean the guy couldn't even get the popular vote. Trump supporters are just a very loud minority. I definitely agree with you on there being little to no more grey areas though. I wish that more people were more clearly nuanced.

I'm still flabbergasted that 10 million more Americans voted R this year than in 2016, it's simply mindboggling to think anyone is okay with an economic depression and a 9/11 a day.

Religion is a powerful drug. Growing up in church, this is the reality everyone was looking forward to. Society burning to the ground. These people have the entire country held hostage yet they believe THEY are the persecuted ones because people are allowed to exist in this country who don't follow their holy book or who don't look and act like them.

High voter turnout and Gen Z voting definitely helped both candidates. But also I think most people on the right just don't believe that the economic depression and the covid mortality rate is Trumps fault.

If anything i'd say the first half of the decade feels more excessive with more vapid and loud club music, FPS games being super popular, random wacky humor(rage comics for instance), people using emoticons a lot more, etc.

No, just no lol
Compared to the 1920s, 50s, 60s and early 70s, the 10s were not very "two-faced" at all
