The way i feel right now about the right is the way I felt when it came to that stupid bill that would gut medicare to fund tax cuts. When I found out the only thing stopping that bill would be republican legislators voting against their own personal financial interests, I knew it was a wrap and that bill would pass.High key sad as fukk.
They’ve essentially won with zero fight.. from the way this sounds.
Actually glad I’m not raising kids in this here. Good luck to you all.
If the only thing stopping fascism from taking hold to turn back the clock on peoples rights is the likes of Josh Shapiro, John Fetterman, Chuck Schumer, hakeem jeffries etc. Then its a wrap. The democratic party right now is not made of fighters hardened by the labor movement, it's made of people who couldn't cut it in wall st. Or Hollywood but want the money of the wall st banker and the fame and following of a Hollywood star. These are narcissists obsessed with their personal brand and career goals, not the wellbeing of americans. If you need any proof, just look at how they treat their own colleagues that are further left and have popular support.
The progressive era only happened as a result of massive wealth inequality and economic calamities that occurred in the gilded age and culminated in the massive unemployment and suffering caused during the great depression. Conservatism and it's goal of hoarding wealth at the top was essentially a non starter for 40 years after that. What we have been in since at least the late 1970s starting with Carter is the regressive era where even the democrats are conservative in their policies. New deal, labor heavy democrats are a dead breed of politician and the only way to resurrect them is to summon them with the kind of suffering that occurred almost 100 years ago.
The good news is eventually the pendulum will swing back and liberal policies like universal social benefits and taxing billionaires out of existence will come back. The bad news is it will require millions being unemployed, dying of preventable disease and malnutrition and riots/strikes on a scale we have not seen in our lifetimes.
