Gore is right about one thing. The American system has indeed been hacked.
Their [Cloward and Piven} article called for “cadres of aggressive organizers” to use “demonstrations to create a climate of militancy.” Intimidated by threats of black violence, politicians would appeal to the federal government for help. Carefully orchestrated media campaigns, carried out by friendly, leftwing journalists, would float the idea of “a federal program of income redistribution,” in the form of a guaranteed living income for all — working and non-working people alike. Local officials would clutch at this idea like drowning men to a lifeline. They would apply pressure on Washington to implement it. With every major city erupting into chaos, Washington would have to act. This was an example of what are commonly called Trojan Horse movements — mass movements whose outward purpose seems to be providing material help to the downtrodden, but whose real objective is to draft poor people into service as revolutionary foot soldiers; to mobilize poor people en masse to overwhelm government agencies with a flood of demands beyond the capacity of those agencies to meet. The flood of demands was calculated to break the budget, jam the bureaucratic gears into gridlock, and bring the system crashing down. Fear, turmoil, violence and economic collapse would accompany such a breakdown — providing perfect conditions for fostering radical change. That was the theory.

Sure about that?
LOL. Well, as improbable as it seems that Gore could be right about anything, yes, I do believe we have been hacked along the lines of what Cloward & Piven called for— giant denial of service attack to overload the system resulting in its breakdown (if not fixed in time).
AL Gore is also trying to impress us with his computer knowledge by explaining what the term "hacked" means.
Puh-lease! The country was "hacked" when we started to refer to it as a democracy rather than a Constitutional Republic.
A democracy is merely a tyranny in the first trimester - it is now full term and Cloward-Piven will be the abortionist.
