It's the boiling frog principle. Put a frog in cold water, and heat it very gradually. He will not jump out of the pot because the change is so gradual. He will stay in the pot until he is dead.
In a similar way, we have accepted small changes beginning as far back as the 1920's, which warped our values and our systems. We have ignored the internal depredations within our school systems, and we did not even jump to alarm when the Russian communists TOLD us how they planned to destroy us.
Now, suddenly, we have awakened to the TRUE cost of our long sleep.
Half of our nation WANTS to be destroyed. They have been brainwashed and bullied into believing it's ALL GOOD.
The other half want things to continue as our forefathers decreed in the US Constitution.

@ElwoodBlues That's imo to simple... these people were already groomed for the message partially due to a culture soaked in far-right ideas. And a network of snake-oil peddlers. Like: preachers dealing in politics, schmittian politicians, loads of far-right pundits on TV, internet and Talk-Radio, ... etc
Trump just tapped into that zeitgeist.

@Ceinwyn Many Americans appear to be morons. See the intellectual responses to me.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I think starting local sounds like the best strategy. Success sells!

@Bumbles Agreed. And from a left wing perspective the best way to defeat a political system designed to marginalize certain groups is to create community networks and initiatives that make the flawed electoral system largely irrelevant.
In my old neighborhood there were far more community organizations that did way more for the community than the guy up in Ottawa ever did.

@HumanEarth If our votes didn't count, Republicans wouldn't be passing voter-restriction laws.

@BohemianBoo Thats to deceive us and mislead.
Do you realize that the Republicans and Democrats are secretly on the same side.

I would argue that Capitalism is tearing the US apart.
You have amazingly elite extremely rich people who are benefitting off their version of Capitalism and control and the majority of wage earners who are not earning enough to pay for accommodation and living expenses.
You then have smaller businesses copying how the elite got rich similarly exploiting their wage earners.
I would think that is what is tearing the country apart.

@sree251 Talk about saying the quiet part out loud declaring yourself a social Darwinist.
And again you are pushing a completely bullshit false narrative.
Particularly after I pointed out socialism has resulted in the greatest increase in quality of life and life expectancy in human history.
But who cares about facts when you have right wing reactionary slogans.

Why do people keep beating that poor dead beat horse
The military industrial complex is providing many rich people with unneeded luxuries and beneficence from the government, Makes things even more seemingly hopeless more in our faces and more savagely austere for us
Your media gets u to NOT understand and use absurd words that convey the opposite of the truth. Why cant you feel the lie too. ?
Socialism for the rich is not what you want. You will never rate. But all people together can help one another create a more just humane world. That's what everyone wants
Maybe you don't. Are u holding out to be the next King Midas too?
Nobody wants Naziism either.
Your use of that world is just wrong. So please stop it.
Its late stage post- capital corruption (the rich have amassed EVRYTHING for themselves) that's ruining this planet and ignoring climate change and moving us to a desperate penniless hopeless unlivable neo feudalism
You wont like that either
And you wont be able to escape it.

American socialism is woke. It is not socialism per se because it is feel good virtue signaling that is all for show.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Qualify their greed.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow You need to face reality. Not everyone is gifted. Even your fingers are not equal, neither are your toes.
PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M
@sree251 I am. Everything I have said is supported by facts and research. All you have is bullshit propaganda and social Darwinist fairy tales.
