Its over killed by the climate advocates like Al Gore, Tom Steyer and any who see themselves as superior to we peasants?
For decades the Democrat championed the little guy, the blue collar working class and traditional union households. They were awarded many electoral victories as a result. But has that changed? Yes it has the Democrat party is now the party of the privileged (mostly white) 1%... the richest among us! With the election of Donald Trump they no longer hide or even advocate for the little guy. Their new coalition are the outcasts from what was normal society the gays, the transgenders, the illegal migrants, single women and of course the richest of the rich. The old blue collar working class (especially white) have been discarded. The reason IMHO is Global Warming note now the progressive prefers to promote and champion those who dont reproduce.
The blame for Global Warming (Climate Change on cold days or AGW/CC) has always been placed on prosperity and living the 21st Century good life for the masses. Wide-spread common citizen prosperity is the AGW/CC villain. All things considered prosperous, from driving your SUV, a warm house in winter and even the backyard barbecue threatens Mother Earth with dangerous CO2! It must now be limited. From this we get a demand (hear and read them) that the "villain" of mass prosperity must now be carefully and strictly rationed to prevent AGW/CC. A crisis so dangerous that freedom itself must be limited and regulated. It will inevitably create a world-wide caste system those are permitted prosperity (rulers-owners) and those subject to rationing (all of the rest of us). This has caused the Democrats and progressives to no longer be able to champion the little guy as its to risky for the planet. To better control who gets to be prosperous and who doesnt a poor, ignorant and nominally educated population is preferred explaining the progressives desire for migrants from the 3rd world they come already poor and ignorant, happy with little more than subsistence rations.
This new way is really the old way
royalty and peasantry. The Liberal 1% (Hollywood, media, political class) sees themselves as the new divine right of kings
destined to rule and control those of us of lesser DNA. Any natural disaster is now the fault of and always explained by Global Warming (Climate Change on cold days)! Used as the justification for any and all control of we the human livestock, for to let us prosper in mass is to ruin the planet! Not so much Marxism as world-wide Old South plantation
where the owners thrive in the mansions on the hill and we (serfs at best, slaves at worst)
live a rationed subsistence in the mud huts
all for our own good and salvation of the planet of course! A dystopian existence for most of us sure... but Mother Gaia be saved!
Thanks FiddlePig.
