FellaI’d go further but honestly the country would be in a much better place if it was just in a basic social democracy without the non stop cultural battles that are used as a distraction from achieving even that modest goal.
Agreed but don't you think Trump ramped up the culture battle?

ArujiI'm really conflicted about this. I do get the sentiment here but I don't want to affiliate with fascists in a sense to get the opportunity here.
The real question why wasn't the left able to do this in the first place back when Trump headed into office for example? Where was the organization. Furthermore, another question would be if such an heavily organized structure might actually hurt the political cause? Not spontaneous enough for example if one wants to go the extra-parliamental route. In fact, the left's organization often leads to exactly that. Parliamental structures. Also, the left simply didn't do it.
The left as it currently stands is incredibly fractured into little micro cliques that will nitpick different readings of Marxist theory all day. I’d say the same for the right at this point. The last time there was any unification on the left was the Bernie and Corbyn campaigns but both dissipated after their losses.

I guess Trump realized the post-ironic Zeitgeist a lot better than classic conservatives such as Eastwood. Financial crisis and the scapegoat of the left liberal. have many reservations here myself. I think that a lot of leftist liberalism is actually an authoritarian approach to encounter historically, politcally and economically introduced injustices by adhering to habits. Trump ventured into the reactance against this. Why do I have to care about these people when I'm living in misery and it's not getting better for me (completely disregarding the effect that poverty often affects "minorities" and women). Hence his support among blue collar workers.
If economic betterments don't go along you often get fascist movements. That's why Bernie was such a cool dude imo bth. Guy understood this and tried to unify the fights. He also felt far more like a "leader" in a sense that he applied the decorum of what it means to appear as such. Modest and honest. Then again, that's also a rather conservative notion of how a person in power should behave imo. I guess a projection of control (and fervor in Bernie's case) goes into this (something Eastwood would like I guess). Trump was the polar opposite who managed to channel the emotions.
I know it's a rather conservative notion of how a person of power should behave but I feel like these are hard times that are just going to get worse cause of the climate and historically it takes great leaders to unite the people to overcome challenges like this I think. I'm not one to look up to politicians at all but you could at least not make me want to f***in puke.

Yes of course and again I’m not saying he was a positive force other than further revealing the corruption of the political system. He was simultaneously a response to already building cultural tensions and someone who elevated it in the worst ways.

Whether it was worth it or not isn’t really what I’m saying. It was just inevitably going to happen. I’m not making value judgments about it.

His laptop literally leaked. There’s tons of videos of him and everything. There’s a video of him getting a foot job while smoking crack. This isn’t fringe news.
