I understand but it doesn't really matter bc the general public doesn't. As it sits, (R)epublicans bad but (r)epublicans good isn't something I feel like explaining and I don't need to.
In fact, were the majority able to make such distinction politically, they might be less inclined to lump all the right side of the aisle positions, together in a single basket - I really want everyone to throw away their baskets filled with all the old world problems our ancestors left for us - republicanism, small r even, is still thinking that is directly part of the chain of responsibility that brought us to our current system of systemic failures.
I just want to talk about how all that old thinking is to blame for all our ills. The I want to make the Democrats more actually left than the American Socialists of the past. This is the death of centrism also in America - hence the OPs reminder and my extreme attack to disregard that position.
This world is broken - I think we should fix it, but like a broken engine in a car, fixing it means getting something new - bc not only will new ought to work much better than the old and broken motor - I'm not willing to repair that old engine, even if it can be, the costs, and what I will have after them, (just to do it all again) isn't worth it to me. I still want to drive the car tho, so it needs a new engine.
America needs an America that works for all of us. We need the engine of the greatest economy in history, that now only greatly benefits less than 1,000 of us Americans - at the literal and actual expense of the 350,000,000 people - we need that wealth spread out more.
It's our failure as a society to have allowed the bottom half of Americans to account for only 2.5% of the country's economic activity, of our country's wealth - 175,000,000 combined have so little wealth compared to the 980, it's hard to explain.
There is no other thing in our world that we would distributed the same proportional way. Humans don't think rationally about money tho, or their ability to make it beyond the position that they started in.
Every few generations one comes along that turns on a dime, like a tipping points is hit during their lives, and everything changes - this happens everywhere on earth but it happened in America, under FDR, where the parties literally switched electorates and platforms til they became as they are now.
In 2028, I think it will be very difficult to identify as a Republican, conservative, etc. outside of the Trumper doe hards - sub-25ish % of the general population at best, sp they will win 0 elections. They will make certain the GOP becomes the Trumper Party forever in our heads as try keep on Trumping.
By 2030, all the rich that give them money - will be giving to the party that replaces them. I'm hoping the billionaires panic and go before 26/28 with the GOP replacement, bc obviously they want to do that after the pendulum swings further left than it ever has...
But, if it goes waaaay left - they (rich people) might not be in a position anymore to afford creating or buying off an entirely new party. If they go before Trump leaves - they will just go out with all that trash.
Haha, I'm ranting here but that's for those that that read this bc they want to and bc they don't. This isn't a bad time to be an American - it's one of the best. We will right these wrongs. Fix our society, economy, and government and do all that in a way that no country on earth has ever done before - but all of them someday will.
We can be happy here again - I'm serious. Not happy bc your better off than most, or some, or happy bc you aren't at work, or happy bc your setup from a lifetime of work, or happy bc you have work.
I mean actually happy. Actual happiness is removed from money and work. We would know that, and be happier, if our America wasn't setup to benefit 980 some people, on all of our backs.
Haha, I'm done now.
Just my rant for the week.
