I expected a full-fledged revolt when obembacare was passed. If that did not do it then nothing will matter and nothing will cause a revolt. The slide to the left will continue no matter who is elected.
End of story. End of the USA as it once was.
I agree, I pity my children and grandchildren. I am leaving them lots of ammo unless I get to use it before I go ;)
Revolts happen either because of some singular, significant impact event, an/or because a tipping point is reached in the public’s ability to tolerate things.
Obamacare was deliberately designed to phase in over years to prevent this sort of reaction. As it has phased in the Obama Administration has, illegally circumventing Congress, made many changes to it to lessen the impact or otherwise channel the public’s attention to it’s “problems” (actually design features, imho).
Iirc it was Kruschev who said that defeating free market Capitalism in the US was the work of generations of effort slowly and steadily chipping away at cultures and institutions until one day everyone wakes up in a Communist nation, without ever having realized they were being led there.
Are you going to give up and slit your wrists? Or try to fight to make the best of what remain?
