And that is exactly one reason why that would never work. That is just not the way we work and what we are doing now does not work. We need a whole new strategy. It used to be that we put a lot of trust in the “people who run things”. there is no more of that trust. We cannot trust the upper class as they are no longer conservative. They are not socialist or Communist as many people here seem to think (even though they use those semantics). We have to develop amore working class and middle class view.
Those people who were born in small town America, grew up in the depression, fought world war 2 and raised children in Suburban America that many of us grew up in, and went on to become successful business men and professionals were Conservative. They were the people who ran the Republican party. These are not the people who are currently populate wealthy neighborhoods and the people who currently run the establishment are usually Democrats. We are even finding out that the Chamber of Commerce types who run the GOP are not to be trusted. Centering a political theory around empowering and enriching these people as many of us are still doing is suicide. We need a whole new set of strategy and considering what we are up against we have no real allowance for mistake much less doing something stupid.
