If we start a new political party, I would nominate the name: FREEDOM PARTY, before the socialist CCP puppets try and claim that "Freedom" is right-wing extremist language and should be banned.
We are the people in the "Middle" who work for a living most of our lives (including office workers and professionals), and are under assault by the would-be plutocrats (rulers of great wealth).
Capitalism as a system can break down when there is too much concentration of market power or monopoly power within certain business organizations, eliminating the benefits of free competition. For this reason, we have antitrust laws, and they are (in my opinion) necessary to the long-term health of the system.
But antitrust laws do not affect individuals who gain previously unthinkable wealth, the mega billionaires. There is nothing wrong with their wealth, but when they use it to control political power through the overwhelming financial support of compliant politicians coupled with outright ownership of the media, IT BECOMES A DESTRUCTUVE FORCE, and in my opinion needs to be dealt with.

In this respect, and in stopping the outright export of American wealth and jobs, think there is room for some of the Bernie people to join our side.

Dis, you make a very good point and one that I believe President Trump saw all along. The first person I successfully red-pilled was an adamant Bernie supporter in '16.

Being a Bernie supporter this person was already accustomed to seeking news from alternative on-line sources which helped when I mentioned that one had to dig around for truth. The dissatisfaction with capitalism stemmed not from the system itself but from the political control exercised by uber-wealthy.

It was a long process of information sharing but beginning with the Constitution and Federalist Papers this person came to understand that capitalism defined by founders is not the political system of power by billionaires.

At any rate that Bernie supporter was easier to red-pill than democRats I know. She worked hard for President Trump's re-election and was able to reach a number of her family and friends who would never listen to me. As you say, SOME are closer to us than they think.
