Why is the american electorate too dumb to understand both democrats and republicans are financed by the same oligarchs? What’s so complicated about it?
culture wars my friend, the right has the propaganda apparatus set up to say our way is better, there is no other way, oh and "we also want you to LOOK over here and hate these xyz people, instead of looking at what rich people are doing behind the scenes"
Yes they are funded by the same billionaires and will never go against that class. But they are not the same. The latest Republican Party is now so corrupt, anti constitutionalist and working against the people. They are not the same.
Corruption light and Corruption heavy. I have clear preferences if given the choice.
Uniparty, basically, outside of Maga, THE OLD Guard of both parties work together making backdoor deals.
As an American, I can attest that Americans as a whole are pretty stupid when it comes to politics. In our defense, we're fed a steady diet of misinformation and propaganda from shortly after birth, and we don't have the benefit of often encountering different cultural and political perspectives like Europeans do. We do have ready access to information, but being educated is actively frowned upon in many circles. It's a solid swath of homogenous stupid here, coast to coast.
Because political ttibalsim is marketed to keep us from ganging up on the rich. And because the " just following orders" crowd doesn't realize they're the ones thtabget left holding bag and their bosses get away.
sports team, celebrity worship was created to achieve the same thing, political tribalism in the early days, those were the foundation.
Yep. Bread and circuses.
