We would have taken all of this a lot more seriously if we broadly understood that this group doesn't seek outcomes.
I know it seems loaded, but it solves so much of our bafflement. They don't care about outcomes, they don't want solutions or leadership or policies or better futures for themselves or anyone else.
They're just mad and stupid and the left did nothing to manage and redirect this toddlerish rage and incompetence, instead we pretended the system was fair and the idiots wouldn't have power because how could they. Naive and foolish on both sides.
If we worked harder to give these people better stories and targets to hate (hint: the rich really don't want a class war) then maybe they would have made better choices.
Liberals did all that. The actual leftists have been saying for decades that this was exactly where liberal centrism was going to end up as the Democrats did everything they could to keep funneling money up to the top as well.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
