I've missed a bunch and while I would love to give my thoughts on a lot of what was said - I'd have to post a medium-sized book. Suffice to say, I'm with most of you guys on a lot of this. Honestly, I'm probably more of a left-wing extremist than anything I've seen anyone saying so far. The reality is that both sides have failed us, because both sides have the same boss. As long as that is the case, nothing is going to change in any meaningful way for the majority of people. What we need now, if we can't have full-scale revolution and the removal of all people that have decided they don't want to be part of an actual society, is so complex that it will never happen.
That's the problem when you get the 'got'cha' questions from Republicans about 'well, how would YOU fix X issue.' Because you can't JUST fix X issue. You need to fix A, C, R, X, and Z issues. Because they're all combined to create the problem. Something that would definitely help is far clearer law concerning how the branches of government may operate in relation to each other and what recourse exists when they don't, term limits for ALL positions in government, and age limits for ALL positions in government. The average age in the united states is under 40. The average age of Senators is over 60. The last three presidents (if we include Trump twice) were 70, 78, and 78.
It's flat out fucking disgusting that this keeps happening.
Also worth noting that Republican presidents have always skewed significantly older than Democrat presidents. For a thousand reasons that would take too long to write out but are 100% obvious and predictable, just as they are awful.
Also also... Democrats fucking suck and I'm sick of the attitude that if you hate Republicans you must love Democrats. No. I just recognize that a useless politician is a better option than a violently evil one. And yeah, I absolutely have no problem 'demonizing' the Right. They are literal fucking Nazis. Not that figurative 'I'm gonna use a loaded word for impact' kind of Nazis. Actual eugenics-shouting, others-hating, Nazi-saluting fucking Nazis. They're ACTUAL Nazis. Fuck off if you're gonna come here and tell me this both-sides bullshit. One side are worthless capitalists. The other side are kidnapping legal US residents and selling them into slave-jails in other countries while trying to send women to jail for having miscarriages.
Frankly, I'm always going to be inclined to believe anyone selling this 'both sides' narrative, or saying they 'want to understand both perspectives' are either deeply stupid or sweeping for behaviours and actions that they simply won't admit that they agree with.
I'll 'hear out' the other side to the extent that I want to know why people vote the way they do. Absolutely. I think a lot of right-wing people are not evil. They're fucking stupid. But let me be clear; It is either one, or both. It HAS to be. You cannot vote for people like Trump, McConnell, etc and NOT be at least one of those two things. And I say that as someone that HAS listened to these people. I have done my utmost to understand where they're coming from and why they think and believe and vote the way they do.
The answer is always the same; they're always either just as evil as their politicians, or too fucking stupid to actually have any idea what's going on. Often, unfortunately, it's been a strong mix of both. And fuck those people. I don't feel bad calling them what they are. They're literally destroying my country and pretty much the entire world - without hyperbole.
) I have decided we need to stop clinging to generational differences in ethics and morals though. Yeah we've got Boomers destroying the economy but we have Boomers becoming dictators, Gen-Xers running prison camps, Millennials committing war crimes, and Gen Z kids dismantling basic functions of government. Everybody is the same as someone being terrible.
