I know exactly how you feel. I have been in this same situation and felt the same way. But it was quite a liberating feeling when I finally said to myself, "You know what? Maybe these people just suck and it's not me." It's a hard mindset to get into though and it did take time.
This reminds me of when I played an April Fools joke on my friend group at the time, pretending to become a rightwinger because I read one of Sarah Palin's ghostwritten books and was inspired.
Yes, the Democrats royally fucked up the election, especially in terms of doing nothing about being viewed as the party of the elite (in fact, they intentionally re-enforced that image), but the simpleness of the general public is so annoying. They disapprove of how Trump is handling things, but...
The lyrics are fine, but like the songs on Solar Power, there's something a bit forced about them. It doesn't feel like Pure Heroin or Melodrama where every word or phrase seems perfectly placed.

Same kid lied AGAIN about having an appointment with his advisor and I busted him out yet AGAIN in the same fashion. Not only is he a liar. He has no common sense.
