It's a kind of nihilistic fatalism, she can see the danger but is unwilling to accept the need for action to deviate from the awful course. She might be the most American character you've written, moreso than all the bickering egotists and yapping eccentrics.
Knowing you're on a course for absolute disaster but doing nothing - what could be more American than that in 2025? Happy New Year, by the way...
Oh boy, yeah, Americans love to stew in their own mess and pretend it’s a fate someone else handed them. I have theories about this psychology, mostly revolving around Christianity’s “welp God will destroy this world anyway so why bother?” mindset, but it’s mostly just bitter ramblings.
Everywhere but the US, Christians know they're hypocrites if they put money and their own material prosperity first, so they're somewhat (slightly to very) ashamed of their worldliness.
In the US, Christians think that God thinks being rich is very cool. This means they haven't read their own bible, not even a little.

I have this really old parakeet that hates coming out of his cage. I worry that is the writer’s problem, she’s too used the cage.

Oh it’s a new year? Funny I couldn’t tell…
I have a little saying: Christianity was the worst thing to happen to America - and vice versa
Eh, I don’t think it’s been great for anyone anywhere, but I’m not a big fan of religion in general.
