Politics flows down hill from culture, but culture flows down hill from philosophy. People who studied leftist ideology when it was forming as acedemic philosophy saw much of this coming in the 90's.
Wokeness is an ends not the means, the democrats made that mistake when they tried to create a monster under their control, but now Frankenstein's monster has now taken over castle Frankenstein and most of his vassals as well.
You have zealots in every movement. Politicians like to harness those individuals because they tend to be young, naive, and happily underpaid for grueling labor. But all of this is a means to an end. The end goal for most leftists who aren't zealots is for a multi-ethnic, stable society that is fair and free. Now that varies region by region on how they define that, save for the thought leaders of the movement, who generally keep a tight circle.
The problem is that they're fighting against the grain of their own party. And instead of making things better, it will make things worse. The demographics do not favor them, the ethnic grouping does not favor them, and their own ideological choices do not favor them.
Really, the future is probably NOT in leftism. A portion of "woke" will be adopted as a means of trying to form unity within the party, but a lot of the actual political power within the Democratic party is going to shift over to people more like Kamal Harris, who are willing to use their skin color as a way to get elected, but pay more attention to major corporations and retired civil servants. And that's due to the splitting within the business and national security voting blocs within the Republican party being chased into the Democratic party.
And after the disaster of this past summer when they embraced full woke, the Democrats are backing off as much as they feel they can.
There is no universe, where I'm going to take this boast seriously.
That's no surprise. You've handily proven your blissful ignorance.
You really believe the GOP cares about its based or the constitution?
It's not a matter of personal preference. The GOP cannot win another election without Orange Republicans. There are 44% more Democrats than Republicans. Trump brought in 10-20 million new voters. And they've already taken a chunk of the Republicans for themselves. The Republican party cannot maintain power without its solidarity. That's why they're terrified impart of shaking the boat.
The real challenge for the Republican party is not whether or not they get to ignore the Orange Republicans, but whether or not they can retain the Orange Republicans without driving out the older voting blocs. The answer to that is probably no, since the Orange Republicans include Union workers, who are generally at odds with the business community. But those same Union voters tend to have social and economical politics similar to African and Hispanic voters. If they can get past the race issue, the Republicans could swipe a large portion of the Democrat's voting base. It's already happening with Hispanic voters under Trump, who was famously misquoted as insisting that all Mexican immigrants are criminals and rapists.
Either they get in line or they're voted out. And sure, a handful of them might be able to cheat their way to office, but the majority will not. If they aren't primaried, then they're going to get fucked when those Trump voters don't show up at the polls. And the current trends show that unless you embrace Trumpism, your chances at re-election are not good. The mythological Trump Bump generally only works for those who appear to be actual believers or carry strong reputations to begin with.
Boy you're going out of way to justify the total and complete rape of America.
I mean, I at no point said that. But hey, blatant dishonesty for the sake of your own ego and zealotry is clearly just part of your character.
Along with ignorance and stupidity.
Do you? When was the last time yours worked Burgerlander? Because there was no justice for the dead at Waco, no justice for the victims of the 2008 financial collapse and you're losing more and more of your rights every day.
2008 financial collapse? Is this a joke? A lot of America's perceived financial problems came from the fact that blue collar industrial jobs that paid the high money; the $20-40 an hour stuff, fled to China as the country embraced globalism under Clinton, Bush, and Obama. That actually enriched MOST of the coastal areas, which drew in the most skilled and capable members of American society. Not all, not the best, but a lot of the best and most of the good ones. That hollowed out the US's interior job sectors and when it became unbearable in the Mid-West (Michigan, Wisconsin, ect) you saw states begin to flip for Trump in 2016.
The US is now in a process of reversing that. We were sliding that way for years, even under Obama. Trump outright broke the system and there is nothing that Biden can do to fix it. Because there is no assurance he can offer anyone that he or someone like him will be in power next year. The far left doesn't like globalism, because they view it as evil white empire building. The right in general doesn't want it because they know that's why a lot of them don't have good jobs and involves sending their kids to wars that don't seem to matter. Biden's reach to the middle swing states involve Quakers and Germans who have a strong culture or NOT wanting to involve themselves the affairs of other or them in their own.
In fact, Biden's own policies are going to make things worse. His pushing for "Make American, Buy American" is going to make things worse for the Chinese, not better. The Chinese who, by the way, no longer have any leverage over him. The releasing of Hunter Biden's personal dealings during the election mean that Americans are of three opinions when it comes to Biden and China; they don't believe it, they do believe, or they don't care. What's China going to do? Release the info? Maybe get Biden removed? And then what? It will just ensure that both parties are out to get them.
The process is going to accelerate, not slow. The avalanche has begun, it is too late for the pebbles to vote.
Or the boulders for that matter.
Tell that to the Uniparty not me.
There is no uniparty. There is the old center that agreed on MOST things, such as the way the world should generally work and how economics should generally work. But that middle has collapsed and both political groups are trying to search for a new middle, both within their respective parties and with each other. The Neo-Cons and the Neo-Liberals are really on the way out as two functional powers.
It is a functional government. Want to know how you can tell? Because even after the last year we had, we still had a peaceful transition of power. And in 2024, if and when Biden/Harris lose, there will be another peaceful transfer of power. I've at worst had to exchange barbs with my fellow Americans.
You had to exchange ammo.
You'd be wrong there kiddo, but go ahead keep smiling and pretending it's all good.
I hope to God you were never given a position where your decisions affected the lives of others. Because dear fucking Lord, you are thick. And clearly malicious towards those who don't hold your opinion.
If you refuse to admit the uniparty is real and that the entirety of the Republican political apparatus needs to be at the very least completely replaced. Any suggestion you're giving is one based around surrender.
And we're back to your inability to read plain english. I have said various times, to you and others, that the Republican legislators who didn't back Trump should be replaced if voters think that their judgement or ethics are not to their liking.
Then stop sabotaging them by demanding they accept the overthrow of the US.
The level of malice it takes for you to twist someone's words around is really just your standard grade VS debate retard bullshit. Anyone whose read anything that I've said here might disagree with my stance or my methods or hell, my take on the whole matter.
But they generally aren't accusing me of being malicious or weak or holding a position I have never, ever declared.
You know? I've lived long enough to realize anyone who says "low information voter" unless they're referring to a leftist is part of the problem and not the solution.
Lol.
"I don't like people who use dog whistles, unless they're dog whistling for my team. I'm not crazy!"
Ah yes, because you can point to anywhere here where I've advocated for ethnic cleansing or genocide. Don't think I ever called myself a war hero either, but that's par for the course for this site. It seems to reward liars who slander and misrepresent things people type.
Oh don't give me that bullshit. Your suggestion would lead to exactly that. And then you strutted your war record like it settled matters and anyone who didn't fall in line with your reasoning lacked the stones to do the right thing. Be a man and take ownership of it. Don't act like a fucking weasel.
Here's the thing buddy? I don't give a shit if you served in your nation's military. I wouldn't give two shits if you served in the US military. I'm not one of the people in our Union who likes to get on all fours and blow soldiers because they want to be like them and couldn't make it through boot camp. Because I never really wanted to be a soldier. Do I think they're great? Sure. Just like I think Doctors are great. But I don't idolize them. And I'm sure most of them prefer NOT to be idolized.
You want to trot out your war service like it's some kind of argument or tool to belittle others?
Please. I don't give a shit who you had to kill. I don't give two shits who you had to burry.
That's interesting given your entire opening post was "Attention everyone in this thread, please stop fighting back in ways that are actually working and go away. Thank you"
And we swing back to you lying about my motives and attacking my character. I can only assume that your nation had very low standards when they recruited your dumb ass. I should hope American soldiers are of a higher moral and intellectual fiber that they wouldn't use their war service to try and accuse someone with an opposing strategy as a traitor to his country.
