    Powerful rich conservative men literally will be unable to deal with this, it is too threatening to the spiritual symbol of the The Big American Car which underpins the rest of their theology… so no Americans will not be allowed to learn to love tiny cheap Kei cars whether because of literal forceful separation and denial or by rich conservatives stoking culture wars about it through their shitbag rightwing influencer mouthpieces… no there is very little chance this future will be allowed until it reaches a point somewhere indefinitely far down the road where the advantages become undeniable.

          It’s not so much that but instead that most of us are both indoctrinated and emotionally manipulated so that we’re mostly reduced to trauma based responses even to good things.  A society of figurative caged beaten dogs.  The outward appearance would be one of a learning disability though.
