"House Republican leadership put a giant bullseye on Medicaid, with the intent to strip Americans of their healthcare benefits to pay for tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations."
That is because you are conflating the current climate, with the future climate. Trust that everything will continue to get worse for everyone and we are accelerating the decline. There is a limit to what people will take, to say otherwise is to ignore all of human history.
I’m 43. I grew up poor in the south. I’ve been watching this happen my entire life. Those of you that think this can somehow be fixed, you’re where I was 20 years ago. Talks of change and revolution and power in the hands of the people has been around for about as long as “we the people” have. We’re to comfortable, by design, in our misery and outrage. We will not give up our meager comforts to show the people in power we’re tired of it. The revolutionist mindset is fostered by the ruling class, knowing full well we’re all too complacent, afraid and just comfortable with it all to challenge their rule.
So you say we are just comfortable enough to allow it. Do you believe this system is maintaining a status quo of comfort? No everything is actively getting worse. If things are getting worse, then how will they maintain “just comfortable enough”. Even if it was the case that we COULD maintain this minimum standard of comfort, do you believe those greedy cunts will be satisfied with that. No, they will still demand a bigger piece of the pie. So the system is bound to get worse, and eventually hardship will outweigh comfort.
Your viewpoint is one of the lobster in the water slowly having the water turned up, you have seen a lifetime of no one caring that the water is getting hotter, so you can only assume it will carry on that way forever. My opinion is one of historical context, knowing that the temp will never stop rising, and eventually the water gets too hot and the lobsters climb out of the pot and attack. I’m not saying its coming soon, but it is coming, we are on that path.
