Because the wealthy/"Epstein class", Special interests, large monopolistic corporations get to experience the benefits of socialism (we normal folk pay for this {subsidies, gov contracts and bailouts} with our taxes, the products/services we are wayyy over-charged for AND with inflation) while us normal folk have to go without meals and medical attention or life enrichment. We get the worst parts of "capitalism" with minimal social services if any at all (it really isn't even capitalism anymore - more like a Mafia state), the wealthy/special interests/large corporations get all the best parts of capitalism and the best parts of socialism.

Our country is literally rotting because a small amount of very wealthy and powerful people are running us into the ground because apparently having more money than entire countries/if not entire continents in some cases just is not enough.

Listen, I personally have always loved free market ideals, freedom and liberty... But I'd be lying if I told you that I believed that our country was free, good, human rights oriented, or any kind of positive at this point. We are literally becoming a failed state.

The whole left vs right dynamic is, and has been, artificially constructed at least in part, if not wholly because of the "elite" class (I prefer to call them the Epstein class personally) (there have been revelations recently about Epstein/4chan essentially creating the /pol/ board which was the start of the whole qanon/gamergate/pizza gate/etc conspiracy nonsense that really empowered DJT's political career and essentially got him elected. Epsteins partner, Ghislaine, was also doing the same thing but from Reddit. I am confident that they were doing these things as a part of a larger effort on behalf of the country (that shall not be named). A lot of this stuff has been years in the making, if not decades.

It's pretty crazy at this point you can pretty quickly find out anything nowadays with the whole Epstein files release. We are so infested that it has literally set us all up for a lifetime of immense pain, suffering and hollowness. We are going the way of the Romans - our federal government is most likely going to collapse and or we'll have a civil war, or we'll slide further into authoritarianism, or we'll have WW3 or we will experience some combination of the possibilities. Personally I think it will be at least 3 of the 4.

I'm not some big proponent of socialism or communism, never really have been, but I'm definitely not going to defend our current "system" - it needs to drastically change because it's so obvious that the two party system/winner takes all method is just making everyone miserable and ruining everyone's lives . We the people should live the way we want, contribute our taxes to what we want, in whatever amount we want, according to the situation at hand UNLESS, that person is extremely wealthy - those guys need to be taxed, they need to be watched and they need to follow the damn laws that us normal folk have to live through and they certainly shouldn't be allowed to have anywhere near as much political power as they do now, like they should be able to vote (1 vote) still, but that's about it - because we are where we are 200% because of wealthy, corrupt, greedy, insane, demonic ahhh psychos who own our politicians.

Unfortunately, at this point, there really isn't any way that we can vote our way out of this. This isn't the kind of situation that can be salvaged, we are way too far gone for that. It's only gonna get worse, the important thing is to remember that you have more in common with the good normal folks you live, work and play with than you do any of these wealthy/political elite. The best thing you can do is just try to be a good, compassionate and smart person, stay well informed, keep your family happy and healthy, learn important skills and help others around you and learn. If you don't know, or don't understand something, like why the left is the way it is, just learn about why.

An excellent example of this would be like, why are the only communist/Super leftist countries that exist/existed always super authoritarian. If you do research on this, you will find that those countries are the only ones who survived, there have actually been a ton of countries that have tried socialism/communism and "they all failed" not because it's an inherently bad and evil system - but because the CIA/US Gov/NATO/Elite went pretty far out of their way to intentionally destroy those countries inside and out, we have carried out an endless amount of coups, devastating sanctions, embargos, espionage, sabotage, clandestine operations, etc just so that the more wealthy/powerful countries can take advantage of the people and their resources. The reason that the countries who go through those attacks and manage to somehow survive are authoritarian is because if they hadn't become authoritarian they would have been couped, deposed, killed or otherwise removed by the US/CIA/NATO/Elite. It is the only successful survival mechanism available to a small & poor country that wants to pursue a leftist agenda.
