Conservative here, so take my response as my own and judge accordingly.
Both sides have a point, we're not doing well as a country atm. Our kids academic performance isn't good when judged according to int'l metrics. Our healthcare system isn't doing so great. Wealth gap disparities are increasing at an alarming rate. There was this implied promise that if we worked hard, went to college, and followed the rules we would be guaranteed certain outcomes. But, these outcomes didn't materialize for a lot of us because baby-boomers entrenched in decision making positions lowered the capital gains tax so that their net worth essentially compounded year after year. Post WWII leadership traded the domestic manufacturing industry for national security by making the USD the default international trade currency, which gave us the ability to impose economic sanctions on foreign countries through a US financial banking system but consequently increased the value of the USD astronomically which made it impossible for anyone to manufacturing anything here in America. The idea, at the time, was that we were supposed to up-skill en mass away from the menial manufacturing jobs. But our education system wasn't up to the challenge so we just traded domestic manufacturing to the rest of the world at the expense of the working class families. We didn't grow and improve, and what's coming our is : "LETS GO BRANDON!!!!". There's a harsh message in those words, but not the vocabulary to describe the reality. We've got to improve ourselves, finish the required reading and look beyond hashtags. Otherwise, we won't rise above the verbal lashing and the mudslinging. We want prosperity. What we have is a divided nation, motivated by hate, and billionaires robbing us blind.
