Yeah, same here! This, honestly, is very puzzling behavior...I really don't get it.
It is a total mindset. My very liberal cousin recently (last weekend) moved into a larger apartment. She was sure that everything in her life was going to be different because the new apt was better. It is bigger, has more light, it has a "real kitchen" that she can cook in, etc.
I very gently reminded her that even if she moves, she is taking herself with her. The problem isn't her old apartment, her problem is her attitude.
She moved last week and...she still doesn't like her job, she still doesn't cook, there is too much light in her bedroom at night, and the traffic is too loud.
It is because the United States didn't instantly become a true socialist/communist state when the big "o" was sworn in.
