Exactly! The right knows there is something fundamentally wrong, while liberals still believe in a savior, but everyone is in denial and brainwashed.
Acknowledging the entirety of the problem is overwhelming, so we point blame at easy targets, each other. Yet, these divisions wouldn't exist if our country wasn't so devastatingly broken.
Patriotic constructs and politicians guide discontent and spread myths, intentionally creating loyal factions. Our government (both parties) enables and supports the rich and powerful at our expense.
Excessive violence, poverty, drug consumption, and alienation expose a fundamental socioeconomic failure, not one-party negligence. The working class needs and wants the same things, but fabricated culture wars dominate public discourse and waste our energy.
It's so frustrating.
