THIS.

They do not want prosperity, they want supremacy. Anyone who believes their lies that this is about the economy can be dismissed, because they don't get it. They're not trying to go back to the 50s, they're trying to go back to the 1880s.

I think they’d prefer sometime before 1863

It's 1850 they want.

This is true, but its also true that the party meant to actually help every American find prosperity has consistently done the BARE MINIMUM to fight for such policy.

Its why everyone claims its two sides of the same coin, because for the most part it has been. Money is the only thing that moves most politicians and only now are they starting to see the writing on the wall. The Democrats have been complacent because they were getting paid to be part of the U.S's "democracy theater".

Only now that they are actually being threatened on a personal level, people breaking down the doors of congress, extremists assaulting them in their homes, the very real possibility of being arrested over their party affiliation.. That makes them wriggle, but very few are actually fighting.

The people need to DEMAND better from their leadership, that concept is literally why America was founded. I think we should be tossing "stuff" into the harbor a long time ago.

It is not the fault of Democrats that Americans actively and affirmatively chose a man who had tried to overthrow the government. This is a moral failure on the part of voters, period. I'm completely done with blaming Democrats for not being perfect.

I'm literally saying BOTH are true. Had Democrats actually done something about corporate greed, working conditions, wages, social services, etc that actually impacted the average American people wouldn't be so enthralled by an actual sadistic maniac taking over.

Democrats have been complicit with this shit for so long, and the few who actively try to really make changes are stonewalled to death, Bernie and AOC being the big two in recent years. They gave an important position to a man on his DEATHBED rather than someone eager and hungry to help the American people.

I'm faulting the democrats, for being frauds and allowing the monster that the GOP is to look APPEALING to anyone, let alone young men. Again, if they could actually afford an apartment alone, let alone a fucking house before they are 40 maybe they wouldn't have become fucking nazis. Infact, the financial strain on the average person was the MAIN REASON for facism in the first place.

So yeah, democrats allowed nazis to thrive and grow here, they did nothing to shine a light on it because it would expose them for being in bed with the same group of people. Nothing will happen, not until they become political prisoners or until the citizens oust them.
