All of us are victims and all of us are at fault.
All of us are victims and all of us are at fault. The left and right (Americans) don't realize our government is the cause of the division and we've played into it. Instead of pointing the finger at our twisted government's economic strategy to fund corporations, facilitate their financial security via promoting outsourcing, and awarding them bailouts for ripping us off, we've turned on each other because the disappearing jobs has made us fearful of one another.
The far-left are annoying and the far-right are dangerous, and we don't have to tolerate them, but they aren't going anywhere so what do we do? Has our government done anything in the last four years to regulate the misleading media, address the divisions within our society, examine the reasons for an "anti-establishment movement", and/or offer economic security or any security for Americans?
The last forty years has been the greatest transfer of wealth in US history and none of the seven presidents and their administrations has done anything for the people. We don't have a government working for us, and instead of acknowledging our nation is divided because we are forced to participate in a game we can't win, we fight our own teammates.
The likelihood of uniting the left and right to address the real problem, has passed. As much as it pains me to say it, I give up. Our lives aren't going to get better, the environment is going to suffer more casualties, and any opportunity we had at fixing this mess, has deteriorated. The US is dead and the only thing we can do now is lament and grieve because even if Biden pulls off a win, the fundamental issues within our culture aren't going anywhere.
The only comfort I have found is understanding how we got here. I blame the government for creating a system of hyper-capitalism that has made us believe happiness is purchasing materials, if you're poor it's your fault, and we must compete with each other because there's not enough wealth to go around. It's not the right who's beating us, it's this structure of economics and the government planning that has excluded us for the last 40 years.
