If we're talking game theory republicans have done an amazing job framing what it means to be an American while at the same time doing whatever it takes to maintain power.
Dems allowed Republicans to be associated with being patriots, pro military, and pro constitution. And here we are.
This is one place where I don't think the establishment receives enough criticism and a a result has led to the current leftist revolution among youth.
The conversation now starts with, 'you're weak' or 'you're corrupt.'
It’s a fukking scam, because we all know at the heart of this “patriotism” is blatant and unapologetic racism, bigotry, and classism that lacks any and all empathy or goodwill for any citizens that are not white, male, straight, and rich. I’m sure we all know people that pretend not to be robot monster fukkfaces, because they are involved in charity, religion, or some other organizations that give the outward appearance of civility or compassion, but it’s all another scam. If you really sit down and think about it, you become completely cynical and disenfranchised, because there are very few “leaders” you can trust, but at the same time, without at least some kind of political capitalism, there truly is no solution short of civil unrest, and the citizens in this country(me included) are too “comfortable” or scared to lose what we have to riot in the streets. If I didn’t have a family to take care of, I might put actions behind my words, but as of right now, I can only contribute in a small way though helping campaigns, writing, and calling. I’m sure a lot of us that feel this passionate are stuck by circumstances like me, and these villains take every advantage of it to con the system. I hate this fukkface and every single fukking suck cocker that is any way supporting him and trying to kill us (slowburn, but killing us is what they are doing, and us is anyone that will not support this bullshyt)
