Quick question, honest question......

At what point are the right happy?

Because the left will be happy when everybody has equal rights, and a high standard of living for everyone.

So, if that's the lefts benchmark of a great society, what's the right fighting towards? Money? Power? Control?

Then what?

When is America "great again"?

Because they've been pushing that slogan since the 80s. What's the endgame here?

Because from where I'm sitting, there is no endgame. Nothing will ever make them happy. Nothing will ever be good enough. So what the fuck is the point?

They can’t be happy. The whole platform is to take the country back to before all of society started conspiring against the poor republican voter.

The big lie is that the dog can never catch the car because it isn’t trans people or immigrants or minorities that are oppressing republicans. It’s their politicians, the corruption that is ingrained into the system, and the rich that fight to keep the system rigged that are oppressing them and clearly republicans will never fix that

The very rich will never be happy. If a billion dollars doesn’t make them happy, what the fuck will? They just want the ability to impose whatever shitty will they have upon everyone and because it will hurt a lot of people they are constantly afraid and that fear leads to them doing even more horrible things.

It’s a feedback loop that pushes them to do worse and worse things.

Happiness is not shared as a goal. For some people, happiness is so distant, the only thing achievable is to make everyone else equally misérable. Think Fundie Christians talking about the Valley of Tears.

They will never be happy.

Extremists are never satisfied, they always want more. They are basically stuck on a stupid loop and just jump to the next demand when they get what they want.

We even have a special name for the current crew. They are called white extremists.

They are already happy. The point of all this is to keep people ignorant and the working class divided- and they are getting straight A's in that department.

If you mean the people who blindly go along with whatever 'conservative' politicians tell them then never, because of the previous point. There will always be a scapegoat to blame, to keep them mad, to distract from the Billionaires draining their pockets and eroding their rights. Immigrants, leftists, women, minorities, lgbt people... anyone who is different so they can play on these peoples xenophobia.

I don't know but I'm guessing there is a MASS GENOCIDE involved at some point.

Once they've dismantled all progress made towards equality, and they control all the resources again.

People think this is a new fight, but it's really the same one that we've been fighting forever. We just got too comfortable, and thought we couldn't lose so much progress so quickly.

Reality has a notable liberal bias so not surprising.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
