Well, that proved to be a bunch of hype and showed the level of ignorance that exists among progressives as to the governments inability to accomplish anything big and expensive these days. Why did we spend a trillion to fix a few hundred billion worth of roads across the country? Where did the other seven hundred billion go? Do blues really work good together or do half prefer to do something other than work these days? I'm an employer too you know.(01-28-2020, 04:17 AM)Classic-Xer Wrote: I agree, ignoring major problems and shifting problems on others and blaming others for problems doesn't make problems go away. I don't know if you will live long enough to see the carnage and violence as the progressive era of old begins to come to end. I hope not for you sake. I don't have a problem with my retirement plan. I'm an X'er you know. I'd say it's better to be wealthier and more self sufficient than being more dependent like must blues these days. The reds themselves will be fine regardless of the situation because the reds are already committed to taking off themselves/their own so to speak.
The way I read it, there was a progressive era from FDR to LBJ. The conservative policies dominated between Nixon and at least Trump, crashing America’s greatness. The impeachment of Trump and the ‘OK Boomer’ meme hint that another progressive time may be coming. Even if so, it is not here yet.
I do believe the reds are more independent, could survive a bad time cleaner. On the other hand blues work together better, could make a good time better. The latter seems more likely.
