Benign government vs. whatever the fuck this is.
I do recall back in the day, when there was first talk about downsizing government, the differences were clearly defined between benign government vs. fiscal responsibility. Oh, how their talking points continued to degrade over time. They went from the party of Christianity to White Jesus wearing a death mask; from fiscal responsibility to grifter redistribution of wealth (which includes GOVERNMENT WASTE - BIGLY) And now, the final chapter: A diverse society vs. the desire for an insular white dominance that is petty and holds grudges.
We are a schizophrenic society. Many of the other minorities I talk to say the same thing. We're just trying to find a livable space to exist to make it through these trying times.
The only hope I have that we'll come together, is for Republicans to hurt so badly from their own poorly thought out policies, that they realize that a Benign Society is far more fiscally responsible, because
1) We contain sickness which not only reduces health costs,
2) but also keeps the working class healthy enough to earn enough money to sustain their own dreams.
3) Also, by reducing poverty, we also lower the need to spend money on a police force where abuses were once the biggest problem we had to deal with. Now, look at us. Police departments are turning out to be the good guys compared to ICE and National guard which has been federalized.
In sum, I hope in the end, conservatives who are not fully corrupted or brain-washed by MAGA, come to the conclusion that the government will work better with benign policies than it does in its present form.
Of course, to get there, we need to find a way to expose the wealthy in our society who don't want them to connect the dots.
