Honestly, yes. Not because we should. But because I don’t see a way out. Money wins. Maybe I’ve been involved in and adjacent to politics and politicians too long. So, I’m pretty cynical. But, I think we are stuck with better vs worse. Or no choice at all if the fascists can make that happen.
At this point, Communism would ne an improvement. Something that will be harsh to the moneyed.
Probably. I know so much about how politics and elections work but there’s so much about what’s going on I don’t understand. Everything is so expensive. The poor and middle class are struggling. Wages and salaries are not keeping up and the job market seems to be shifting for the worse. Yet, the
stock market only goes up. Couple that with tax cuts for the rich and rich people are getting so much richer these days. And they want to keep it that way. Do they support Republicans whose only goal in government is to keep the rich as rich and powerful as possible. Nothing else matter to the
Republican Party. Yet, tens of millions of poor and middle class Republicans support that agenda and will never miss a vote to advance that agenda. How does this sustain itself other than rich, white people funded fascism executed by the Republican Party?
I would say that a fair number of Democratic constituents and a majority of Democratic politicians would switch sides if there was no culture war. Notice how there seems to be a total amnesia held by Republican politicians born before the Eisenhower administration about Republicans.
Probably. It’s hard to comprehend how so many poor and middle class Republicans can support a party whose sole purpose is to reward the ultra rich at the expense of the poor and middle class. The answer has to be that they love the culture wars. It’s amazing Republican politicians can make that work
