What MAGA nonsense? And while we are at it, please name a politician who talks sense and hasn't been drummed to the margins by their own parties. People buy into whatever crap they are told to buy into by the media - including houses they can't afford.
What MAGA nonsense you ask? The red line MAGA, a term borrowed from past presidents who likely borrowed it from Hitler propoganda. Same old rhetoric, different generation. What redeeming qualities make him worthy of leading your (not my) great nation? Okay, he's a radical departure from the dusty old boys in the GOP, but be reasonable, Trump is a follower playing to the crowd.
Define great. America is already number one, or used to be and everyone knows it, but very likely not for long. Why is that? The US has already mortgaged its future on the military. The word "mortgage" comes from the French phrase "death pledge". Selling death is the American way, at least in foreign policy as I see it. Now that the grim reaper is on home turf, how does it feel? I've watched the gradual decay for over a half century and there's no turning back now, unless...forget it, that's another chapter.
Capitalism has an insatiable hunger, supply feeding demand. Adam Smith's wasn't evil, but his ideology has morphed into a vicious cycle of keeping the masses in servitude. Man cannot live on bread alone and Socialism won't solve America's problems either, but is a necessary check when the balance of power and capital rests in the hands of the elite few (who get corrupted by greed). That divide is not likely to change, in fact, I've seen it widening. China is a great example of the type of capitalism USA exported - fake it 'til you make it. How many billions of people would have gladly changed positions ten years ago, with their numbers growing beyond the border of sustainability. Those were the glory days of the West. USA had the chance to make progress on many fronts. What happened and on who's watch? Call 911, keep fighting and bashing each other down within, foreign powers love it.
Why use the term GREAT? What's wrong with GOOD? Good in the sense of going out of one's way to help his brother in need. I'm not here to preach, but help shed some light on a very dark subject. Canada isn't much better, we live in the shadow of the US. I agree, any politician who doesn't tow the line is marginalized. Tulsi is a good example. She would've made a fine presidential running mate IMO, but her emmancipatory ideology flies in the face of those who want more power for themselves - and Biden is simply their straw man. They (the powers that be) fear the proletariat and use whatever means at their disposal to maintain positions of power. I could carry on, but I grow weary and my opinion won't change the way things are anyway. If you got this far, thanks for reading, God bless.
