You can't see how "socialism" and political correctness is the problem, has always been the problem way before the "woke" with both Reagan Dems types and with many immigrants?  Give them an inch and they'll take a mile and before you know it you have social workers you are paying taxes for butting into your life, telling you just not how to raise your kids, but what clothes you have to wear (Mao suits), how you can and can not run your business ("I'm from the government and I'm here to help, here's 800 pages of forms you have to fill out before you can sell that stuff, and no you can't farm your land over there cause that's a protected habitat of little birdies), generations of kids on welfare and emasculated men, broken families...etc.

 The DLC knew what they were doing, knew the problem what they were trying to solve and won elections doing it. Trump knows a lot of it instinctively and uses it to feed his narcissism because: he attacks the left the majority doesn't like."W" understood it, too. He just got hijacked by Cheney/Rumsfeld old school.

Centrism wins elections, it really does. Oceankat is thinking I'm delusional, I think he is over-stressing aberrations in the past because he's left on certain things that didn't sell with the middle. Yes, all of Trump years is a terrible aberration and has really fucked up with ramping up confused divisiveness but before him the trend was that lots more places were turning purple.

AND NOW the thing is covid has screwed up all paradigms allover the world, majority is for spending and aid ala FDR. But temporarily, you can't predict that will last. Because all of our economies will be massively changed. Fast forward future after initial massive government infusion. No guarantee the end result will be clamor for more bureaucrats. Some want more social workers and less police, others want less social workers, less police, and more guns for self-protection and their own land. The popular interest in capitalism among the young is one totally unexpected result!
