Here’s the problem: the one with the purple hair wants civil rights and safety, and the one with the red hat wants to punch the one with the purple hair repeatedly. Can’t really compromise like that. Need to fight red hat and billionaire at the same time, which is bullshit.
Also, the one with the red hat is probably fine with the billionaires.
Certainly, he’s just one good idea away from being one himself!
It’s hypocritical republicans who LOUDLY incite and stoke any of the culture wars you refer to. Anyone with half a brain can see that since at least two decades ago.
Yet another reason in a very long list as to why both parties are NOT the same. But that ship has sailed, I have lost all faith in the american electorate. Stubbornly ignorant, utterly misguided voters allowed the noisy felons back in, and they will NOT give up power on good faith. All while global warming continues to ramp up. It’s too fucking late.
They’ve been doing it since reconstruction. I read the opinion once that labor never got true power in America because they kept excluding blacks for a long time. I think about that a lot. Hating a black guy was more important to many labor movements than class solidarity.
This is why labor unions really started to fail in the 60s and 70s. The union guys valued race far more than class and the powers of unions diminished.
They have been doing it well before reconstruction. Once upon a time there wasn’t that much racism in the US, but after Bacon’s rebellion the elites realized that whites and blacks were working together and have since then been pitting them against one another.
OPs political views and opinions are apparently shotposting worth
Well when the red hats are fighting for the oligarchs it’s not quite the same is it
Its not the same. Those dumb MAGA animals are actively on the side of the rich. Don’t compare us to those fucking people.
They both want to distract us, cuz if we actually work together we’d overthrow thfm
