pretty much. people really dislike the ugliness of Trump. But he's showing us how ugly most people really are.
So many people on the left/liberal are 100% OK with corruption, brainwashing etc, they claim to be against. As long as it's their version of it and not a conservative version of it.
Muhh team good, muhh daddy strong...
Your daddy bad, my daddy kick your daddy's ass
Cruz of american politics while billionaires robbing our bank accounts via corruption as such described in this thread.
i mean, it's always been that way more or less. in the 19th century it was slave owners robbing us until we had a civil war. then after that it was the gilded age until we had the great depression. etc.
only thing that will actually change things is another great social upheaval like a war or economic collapses, or both. you need the vast majority of people to suffer for them to actually want to change anything.
the current system still benefits too many people for their be any need for systematic change. the people in the top 10% of the economic bracket, myself included, benefit way too much from the current system.
but i can tell you that most of my economic peers are totally convinced they are not elites and not benefiting, and their rage is directed towards paying too much tax and being anti-growth.
