This is precise.
I remember the early 2000s and being suitably outraged by the right wing politic of that time. Using the illusion of 'free market economics' to further quite egregious variations of crony capitalism - all wrapped up in a healthy dosage of 'patriotism' to wash it all down. Common sense lived somewhere mildly left of center.
25 years later that pendulum has swung entirely to opposite spectrum.
I agree the door is now open to step away but very few are showing that bravery.
You hit the nail on the head there! I remember the early 2000s particularly post 9/11 when the neocons were firmly in charge, coupled with their trickle down economics. It was a mess. Now the woke cult has taken over the left, and these shifts aren’t new. If you look at history you will actually see the two sides becoming more or less the same over time because all of them still place the state at the centre of everything; which ironically is the problema. Fiat money is the bedrock of all of these issues, and those that control it will keep this divide going for as long as possible
