55 Pictures That Show How America Was A Full-On Dystopian Nightmare This Year

We seem like were’ headed towards or are currently living in dystopian America (and maybe the whole world?).

But here’s the thing about this dystopian hellscape — it’s not even a fun one with zombies or mutated talking animals. Just a boring dystopia with ads popping up in our faces everywhere we go, or Jersey Shore cast members are asked to comment on inflation, or the following 40+  real-life instances of this theory, where social problems intertwine and all that jazz, just head over to the sub-Reddit called ‘A Boring Dystopia.’ They’re all about sharing pictures that seem totally innocent but are actually pretty messed up.
