It kind of is Right vs Left, tho, because Billionaires Welfare and Anti-Tax-the-Rich is a core policy stance on the Right.

Like honestly, my slightly pedantic and rather uneducated take is that there is no right wing. Calling one party ‘right wing’ and the other ‘left wing’ implies that they are in some way comparable, two sides of one coin. They are not, and I suspect never were. The party to the left is on some level concerned with a good faith attempt at governance, however compromised. The party to the right has no interest in governance at all. On the contrary, they have a direct and specific interest in breaking down and carrying off the bricks and mortar of governance. In the US at the moment, the party to the right is doing quite literally that.

My argument therefore is that calling a right wing group ‘political’, or right wing ideology a ‘political position’ is not only a bad idea, it is also inaccurate. Such an organisation is inherently anti-political and anti-state by extension. It is no more concerned with governing than thieves are concerned with the Highway Code when making their getaway, which appears to be exactly what is happening at present. Booooooo. Disqualified. Not a party, not fun, not political.

They played us against ourselves and won.

I meant "Us" generally.

Non-Generally: A lot of us also saw it coming and are watching it happen.

Now we, meaning all of us, need to either accept it and do something about it or continue to deny it and submit.

This -is- the end game.

I can't tell you what to do, because it's going to take a lot. But find whatever makes sense to you, and find people who agree.

I know it's going to get worse before it gets better, but i'd rather "better" come sooner.

Good luck getting partisans to buy into this meme, but it is correct.

Left doesn't mean the democrats.

Can we cut them out of society when we cut their taxes to 0? Seems fair. Just revoke their citizenship

What exactly do you think right vs left refers to?
