The conservative perspective seems overwhelmed at the moment by the media and a bunch of people in Washington who are doing their best to protect the rotten apple cart that we could give two shits less about because we know they're all rotten these days. Like I said, the government the bit of integrity that it has left these days. Oh well, I'm glad that I'm not all that reliant on it these days.(12-17-2020, 10:12 PM)Classic-Xer Wrote: I'm on Earth 1. This is Earth 1 right. How did we do compared to European countries and Europe as a whole. I heard New York and New Jersey did about as good/bad as Italy. So, OK you got rid of Trump by electing someone with dementia that a group of rich people did everything within their power to cover up and hide from the electorate for several months. If I was Chinese or Russian or an elite with business ties to either one of them or an elite looking to make millions or billions off the trillions appropriated to fund the Green New Deal whether is actually needed or not at this point in our history. I agree, I see a lot of selfish thinking going on these days. I also see a lot of hypocrisy and arrogance being displayed as well.
Thus far, what you describe is not Earth 1.
The Republicans are unduly influenced by the elites and the racists. The Democrats are trying to win by serving the people rather than the unravelling collecting of campaign contributions from the elite and votes from the racists. The Democrats are trying to support the working man and minorities rather than the Republican unraveling policy of attacking unions and benefits while shipping jobs overseas. They are trying to solve problems rather than supposedly saving money and building a smaller government in order to ignore the problems.
Ignoring reality allows you not to rethink your perspective. Pretending hard not to notice the division of wealth, the hurricanes, the children separated from their parents, the fires, the racial murders, the instigation of violence, the systematic racism, etc, allows you to cling to your ideas.
There are elements of the conservative perspective worth saving. Right now though, these are overwhelmed. There is so much you have to ignore to support the Republicans as they have come to be.
