He helped expose the system as the fraud that it is. They will never be able to put that cat back in the bag. Good ol' boy politics is coming to an end because of him. You will see more and more flawed people with good ideas getting the vote, because we realized we don't care about their personality as much as we care about what they can truly accomplish. That will be his legacy.
shareTrump politics is "good old boy" politics. Thee is no other reason for requiring loyalty to Trump over loyalty to the
Constitution.
Saving America twice now.
shareGun grabber, rapist, convicted felon. The MAGA wish they could get away with the same things.
shareUnless he blows up the planet, when we're all here dead our sons or daughters will fly over a Trump building and read about him in the history books.
shareTrump's legacy will be the same as it was had he not been president: A grifter who puts himself above all other concerns in the world. He's a rich man; his policies effect him much more profoundly positively than his supporters. We all have a lot more to lose and not as much to gain from "Reaganomics" than he does.
Trump's a capitalist. He's always going to want to better his own station in life at others' expense. And tbh, the same could be said about Dem leaders. They can be pretty well shielded from the worst perils of a capitalist system. That's ultimately why we never have lasting progress in the US; because capitalist, individualist policy looks good on paper, until you realize that the "trickle-down" never truly trickles down. The people who need to do the trickling, just... don't. They have a million ways to keep their "hard earned" money out of the hands of the 99%... We have none in comparison. So the trickle down doesn't start at the top; it skips the top completely and siphons money from the middle class in both directions.
I believe you're right, I left the US in 2022 and I saw how devastated the 99% truly were.. and I'm one of the lucky ones I chose to never get married (really couldn't afford it) nor have kids but really pisses me off the rest the citizens have been turned into slaves. However, looking back to the '60s and 70s I see how this is always been the case it just got worse and worse and worse and now we see how bad it's become
sharePretty much.... And the working class is gonna overreact to every little price change and either blame it on the other side, or... Still find a way to blame the other side even if it's their own party's fault.
It's like people turn their brains off and submit to the "hive mind" of their party. I don't trust either one of them. Now, I can honestly say I distrust the Republicans more, simply because they have stood against many things I support (LGBTQ+ rights, marriage, reasonable social assistance)...
I only ever consider myself a Democrat because that's how far I consider my ideology from that of Conservatism. It's night and day. Both parties are seriously flawed, but I'd much rather be flawed in allowing things I don't necessarily agree with to exist, than stand behind an ideology that should NOT exist.
Hyper-individualism is killing our society. Not everyone should have the right to step on anyone and everyone on their way to the top. If you're so focused on being in the 1%, maybe you (read:rich people) should remember upon whose backs those wealthy elite laid their labor to make it happen.
I feel like the rich today are so convinced that "they've given enough" (regardless of how many tax laws they broke to keep what they did) over the years that they simply shouldn't have to anymore. And the way I see it is, if you stop paying into the society from which you benefit, then you should no longer be benefiting from that society. Civilized society only exists because of that give and take between the Haves and Have Nots. And if the Haves are tired of paying into that civilized society, They don't deserve the benefits our society provides.
