Xenakis and I took at least a pause in our exchange over on the Generational Dynamics site. The last bit was an accusation that I was a criminal. No evidence. Just off the top of his confused little brain. I just used it as an example that he will slander people whose opinions differ from his.
For a while I have highlighted a generalization from S&H that the conservative values will collapse in a crisis. The royalists, slave owners, no regulation of the economy, isolationist, or racist faction just fades some as the democracy, free economy, regulation, world power, equality proponents move on. This does seem to be materializing of late. The Big Lie is being recognized more and more as a big lie. The red violence is being recognized as a problem. The Blue Wall of Silence is falling apart in the George Floyd trial. The Trump criminal investigations are proceeding. More people are ready to take a vaccine.
The Republican stonewall hasn’t broken though. The congress critters remain more loyal to their party than servants of the people. They are voting against widely popular bills. I don’t see how this can work past the first few years. They spent the conservative era obstructing anything that will help the people enough that it has become a habit. This has left a bunch of problems that so obviously need to be resolved that a progressive platform is obvious. If they try to stand in the way of that they can destroy themselves.
This has got to be hard on the poor conservatives.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
