Here's your problem, you have this silly notion in your head that this country is owned by a few when it's actually owned by millions of people these days. Right now, the Left is trying to flip the script and the America Right is well aware of of it. I hate to say it but 90% of what the Left is selling is bullshit that easily sold to half wits and idiots. The whole Yankee Republican vs Confederate Democrats ended around 160 years ago and the Democrats are still fighting it and trying to win. You and I see the same problem with the Democrats a long with everyone else who isn't a Democratic voter or a Biden voter these days. I wonder what the snowbirds who voted him think about all the new COVID problems that Biden's policies are creating for them now.
That is why I invoke the roundheads and cavaliers. At one point the Republicans advocated for the industrial elites and abolitionists. They were the progressives, seeking to move forward the Industrial Revolution. The Democrats were centered on the rural power, were racists, were the conservatives. With the southern strategy the elites and the racists got together. With the elite money and the racist votes, it became possible to minimize benefits, weaken unions, ship jobs overseas, and in short shove it to the workers and minorities.
And some people are still buying into it.
The thing, though, with the current crisis is that the Democrats are eager to solve problems. Hard to do in an unraveling. The central focus of a crisis heart. If the problems are the economy, COVID, systematic racism, global warming and red violence, it is better to solve the problems that exasperate them. The practical lessons learned are locked into the culture in the high. The old values fade. Game over.
Thing is that you and Einzige are still wrapped up in violence. Violence is the last resort. If the problem can be solved using non violence, violence just doesn’t happen. As a result you get so much meaningless verbiage.
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.
