Look at the Dem coalition, blacks, and hispanics, Jews and Arabs, young single whites, single career women. If GOP were to lose next three elections and become less of a threat to the coalition, how long will blacks work with hispanics? More fun, how long will Jews work with Arabs? As the young get older, marry and have to pay taxes, how long will he support entitlements?
I agree, GOP mistreatment of Ron Paul supporters at the convention and state GOP replacing Ron Paul delegates won with establishment ones really pissed the Ron Paul supporters off. Main problem is the GOP have too much relationship with Wall Street bankers, Fed Reserve and etc. These guys were not going to let any anti Fed Reserve and Wall Street Bankers take root in any of the two major parties. The GOP complied with their demands and rather risk defeat then have a political movement that will disband the Fed Reserve or rein in Wall Street Bankers.
My only advice to retain sanity is to step back and look at the big picture. The US is a facist nation (big corporations working with big gov against Main Street America). If you are not part of high society (term from the Guilded Age) and worst if you represent a threat to their interests they will mobilize MSM, use ideological hostile political fractions against you. Like one person said, in America politics means you can run and have strangers come up to you and personally hate your guts.
I say it once and I will say it again. No matter who is POTUS, the Fed Reserve have decided that the US cannot pay down their debt (tipping point has been reached), and will inflate their way out at 5% a year. It means the middle class (Dems and GOP alike) will lose half of their buying power every 14 years assuming no unforeen event occurs that can cause the inflation rate to rocket. Or the Fed Reserve experts miscalculate the velocity of money due to money printing and ignite high inflation.
Either or, the future is clear, the US middle class will go the way of the Brazilian post WW2 middle class. Brazil after the war had the same percentage of middle class as US, but she over borrowed in the 1960’s. Excessive debt repaid by devaluation of the currency was how Brazil dealt with debt they could not repay. Today Brazil is debt free, and in position to re emerge. Problem is the middle class was decimated in the process.
The only hope the US has is export her natural resources of lumber, oil and natural gas, coal and food to new and emerging nations. That will mean the EPA must pull back and let miners, and drillers rip. Otherwise we go the way of Greece, Spain, Italy and France.
