It isn't about the left or the right. Both sides have demented factions. Dominance of institutions by either side is bad for a society, any society, not just the US. History is full of examples of this. The history of Latin America, in particular, teaches us what can happen with repeating patterns through history. Patterns that we have now imported into the US with gusto. This, based on history, does not end well.
As for democrats, or the left, take your pick, it is indisputable that the ideology has dominance over social media, technology, conventional media and educational institutions. This dominance has led to the current status quo, and scenarios such as what is being uncovered at Twitter.
This isn't health for society. I have said this multiple times, the opposite (republican/right) would be just as bad. This does not lead to positive outcomes in the long run. And we have to fix it. Not sure how. If we don't, well, look at the history of Latin America to understand the kinds of things that can happen in the US (some of which already have).
Perhaps it is the fact that I was educated in multiple countries and cultures that I am able to see through some of the fog that people who have only lived in the US can't seem to be able to cut through. When I talk to people from other nations who live in the US they can't believe what this country has allowed politics to become.
Not to go too far, one of my neighbors is from Ukraine. She cannot believe just how far the US has allowed the left to impregnate so many institutions. I have friends from all over Latin America, the Middle East and even Soviet era USSR nations. Same opinion, without fail. Everyone thinks this is incredibly dangerous. Everyone except for Americans who do not know history and have no understanding of other cultures and what they have experienced.
I know I am not going to convince anyone here. So be it. Perhaps one day, when things go to shit, people are going to learn the lesson. The hard way, as they say. Sometimes that's the only way people learn.
Even worse, China is actively using this to help us destroy ourselves from the inside. It's a remarkable display of strategic stupidity on the part of the US. Brilliant.
