When we are electing the president by the same principle, I assure you that it is even worse than you can imagine. Societal collapse is imminent. Those who are comforted by their station in life always think they are living in a utopia. You are surrounded by fake smiles adorning people forced into subservience. At one time the myth that hard work and dedication would pay off in the end kept people in line, the "american dream" they called it. Now that myth has been tempered by reality, watching the last generation work all their lives with many having little to their names and no security is what looms over the current generation. We know it's a lie. That lie was keeping things together. We are heading into an age of great civil brawling fueled by immense economic pressure caused by corruption on all fronts.

- unimpressive 8y agoYour narrative is not actually evidence (even if I suspect you may in fact be right).
- TheOtherHobbes 8y agoThe evidence is in crumbling infrastructure, poor provision of essential social investment, and increasing political and social extremism. Short-term greed turns out to be a ridiculously naive, stupid, and short-sighted way to run an economy.
- BucketSort 8y agoBasically you have to beat people with the truth for people to accept it when it goes against their ill-conceived view of the world.

- sethherr 8y agoI agree! Let’s all wear flannel and be slackers! You’re doing a throw back to the nineties comment, right?
- eanzenberg 8y agoHaha, yeah you could pluck that comment out of any decade and find (insane)people saying it.
- BucketSort 8y agoIt's also usually true.
