Political Weirdos

"finally gets him" will just mean republicans lose an election cycle. Maybe 2, like Dems won in 2006 and 2008. That's the absolute best we can hope for.

I used to get mad at doomers, back in 2014, 2018, but I hope for nothing now. There is a massive propaganda machine that has been constructed since the 1930's that demonizes any attempt to impead the power of the wealthy and their ability to increase their wealth. They hit their stride with fix news and have been baking the brains of American voters ever since.

It will take something truly catastrophic to change it. Covid wasn't enough, not even close. Losing a war might do it, not like Vietnam, I mean getting invaded an occupied. A pandemic that kills 30 million, maybe.

Short of a biblical catastrophe like that? We face a slow grind into deeper poverty for the rest of our lives. Punctuated by figures like Obama and Mamdani that offer some temporary relief for an election cycle or 2.

I think the only peaceful way out is a wealth tax. I don't think America will do it, but that's the simplest best solution.
