Don't make it feel like you did this. We didn’t make it this bad.
The we is something I struggle with. I argue with myself that people voted in idiots who lie and push laws around for their agenda. However I feel in recent years it’s become transparent that it’s to the agenda of the rich.
Social media has made that propaganda and the little people like us have been pitted against one another.
I am tired and I do get frustrated at the amount of humans who think short term stupid. However I am trying to work on the we. Rather than we voted this I am thinking we can educate and we can be strong together.
It’s easy to be tired, beaten. The only way out of this is to fight and that’s by seeing who the enemy is. They are not scared to show who they are. People are just blind to see it. I think that American thing of the temporarily embarrassed millionaire is spot on.
Thank you for this response. The temporarily-embarrassed millionaire is absolutely the blinders on our working class. Stepping back before Trump ran for his second term -- Politics felt like a solved game that people were refusing to think about for exactly that reason.
Most people can't afford healthcare. Most people can't afford childcare. Everyone wants more money. Why can't we all get behind one random person that says "I'll tax TF out of the top 0.1% and get us healthcare and food and raise your wages."
The answer is that people don't want to see themselves as helpless, even if to stand together and help ourselves. They feel less shame excusing their state as temporarily-embarrassed victims; and blame some secret conspiracy or invasion or what-not.
