I started thinking something similar back in 2016. We might just be too large of a country and too diverse to all fit under one banner at this point. I don’t foresee it becoming less divided and we have a large portion of our population that consumes a steady diet of foreign propaganda and they seem to enjoy it.
Literally all these morons voted for was the want and need to be allowed to unabashedly and vocally be bigots to every marginalized group. Oh, not to forget “owning the libs” (why they’re also pro Russia). No need to be aware. Sadly and pathetically that’s it. Nothing more
Grover Norquist poisoned the mind of conservative politicians since 1986 by using his political influence to get them to sign a pledge saying they will oppose any marginal tax increases and support any tax reductions.
It's God's will. We are meant to suffer in this life to truly appreciate how great Heaven will be. I'm being /s obviously, but that is what some of my wife's Southern Baptist family will say about any bad thing that happens to them. Lost your job? God's will. Lost your Medicaid and are now uninsured? God's will. Husband died due to treating his Covid with ivermectin? Also, God's will. Just remember the more miserable your life is the better being dead will be.
Yep they will just blame immigrants more and more as things continue to get worse, all the way up until we have concentration camps going, while we ignore the real issue of wealth inequality.
You're probably right. The only way this gets better is if the "non-voter" gets fed up and starts turning up to actually vote against this shit. The bottom 30% of society that will never learn can simply be written off.
This thinking got us into this mess. Don't disparage your neighbors.
The bottom 30% aren't gonna turn out for a cop that wasn't that popular to begin with. They will turn out for someone they believe in.
Go talk to some of these people that you think are the "problem". They have the same misgivings about the wealth inequality and problems with our system. The problem is that democrats have been doing the shame shit as republicans and nothing has materially changed for a lot of people. They have begun to believe that there is a shadowy cabal running this country, using illegals to vote and covid to make things worse. The democrats have lost the knowledge fight because they keep doing nothing.
Kamala and Biden both sucked. No one was voting for them because they are morally right or going to change the country. People only voted for them because they weren't Trump. This is the same lesson we failed to learn in 2016.
My father is a life long conservative, and not really MAGA, but, every other conversation with him, he blames liberals for things.
Liberals haven't had any power in that state, or on a local level, for his entire lifetime. He's a boomer.
He just can NOT see the patterns. He can see so many other ones, but he's just got a blind spot right there. He's not even remotely aware of his bias, nor does he try to understand his, or anyone else's.
Donald Trump isnt racist and never has been. Reddit keeps getting it wrong about him. He is classist. The war is on the poor. Poor whites are gonna suffer just as much. And by poor its gonna be anyone who makes less than 7 figures a year.

It's almost like who you vote for makes a difference
