It's hard to stay cheerful or optimistic about the future when the news is full of click bait about benefit reforms, hating on disabled folk and hatred to the poor. Feels like things are slipping backwards not forwards and doesn't feel as safe as it used to to go out n about. I'm more likely to be refused disability aid in public, like drivers lowering buses or disability doors working, and it feels targeted. I know it's not targeted at me specifically but at people like me, anyone with invisible disabilities especially, the general public isn't consciously turning against us but if the gov won't support us why should they feel that have too, why prioritise fixing a door or lowing a bus if the gov doesn't think disabilities like mine are real anyway, they're just being lazy anyway. Turn us against each other so we don't turn against the gov, typical political strategy, it vexes me that with all the access to knowledge and information how easily the masses are manipulated and controlled still.
