    It needs to be destroyed, but they have too much control and successful means of divisive propaganda for it to be destroyed. This isn’t a class war, this is a fully entrenched class occupation, and worse, we were convinced to surrender without a fight as they told us “there is no class war, friends, and to engage in one would be unseemly I do declare.”

    I take solace in knowing entropy is absolute, and Rome always falls/collapses under the weight of its own corrupt decadence in the end. The party will stop catastrophically for some descendants of our owner class, though we won’t be there to enjoy it.

    There is no saving this system. The last conceivable small hope for that would have been our people soundly rejecting the Reagan revolution, where we were convinced giving the rich sociopaths ALL the money would somehow help everyone else, lol, and where the always on the take conservatives convinced their former opposition party to take the fucking bribe money into today, modern neoliberals.

    And to add unnecessary icing to their cake post conquest, Citizens United made political bribery just another perfectly legal tuesday. Let your bribe flag fly!

      Yes. While politically genius to basically marry Christian Fundamentalism with the Republican Party, it has more or less resulted in half the population internalizing the logic of ‘Prosperity Gospel’ preachers to such an extent that it is exceedingly rare for any Republicans to ever realize the extent of their political and theological hypocrisy.

      Now they are Q Anon, living in, or at the least heavily influenced by absolutely absurd baseless impossible nonsense as the core of their beings.

      They are impenetrable to well reasoned arguments, if you can afford the time and effort to make them. Even if you can, it doesnt matter, because theyve already fallen hook line and sinker for some new exquisite and nebulous nonsense story. They are violent and hateful, and also cowardly: Ask anyone what happens after they actually win an argumemt decisively with a Q Tard, or when one of their insane predictions for a certain date doesnt happen.

      They either cry like babies, get extremely angry and violent, or tell you that they are not into politics any more… while still listening to the same hateful insane AM talk radio nut cases, or reading the same rags on the internet, /which they are addicted to exactly like a drug addict./

      They just lie to your face because that is easier than admitting they are wrong. When some new nonsense narrative is invented by the right wing hate and fear mongerers? They go right back to being interested in politics, seemingly with no memory of how you already showed them that their same sources for this new thing to be angry about are the ones who provably lied, mischaracterized and invented falsehoods whole cloth the last time.

      I view such people as little more than zombies whose flesh has not fallen off yet.
