As a German, I say this: Do not repeat Germany's De-Nazification mistakes.

32. What do you do with a nation half full of idiots?

These people are so fuckin stupid and ignorant / naive that they can be led by any charlatan. And this country is full of con artists.

Neoliberal economics, spearheaded by the Republicans and followed by centrist Democrats led to so many people being economically abandoned, and corporations and billionaires gaining immense power in America. The right wing media then guides these anxieties into basically getting people to punch down and scapegoat minorities. Opportunistic Republicans took advantage of this till a con artist came as the "Jesus" of the far right and became president, and here we are.

Undoing all of this is extremely hard if not impossible and would take immense cooperation in our society. And the right wing media will continue to stoke sedition as long as they are making an immense amount of money.

I would recommend the following...

- Promote people everywhere the tools to dismantle propaganda attacks and essentially "inoculate the mind" over time
- Truly patriotic Republicans organize a new opposition party to essentially replace the Republican Party, a party that Democrats can work with.
- Actively overthrow the "ambition over all else, including country" aspect of our culture that has led to so many Republicans putting party over country and committing sedition. Ambition and winning should never be put above country and society's welfare.
- Actively promote the idea to the rich that the wellbeing of society is to their benefit, and a sick and/or destroyed nation should not be the cost of their prosperity. A society doing well is to their benefit and they wouldn't have to worry about uprisings. The continual pursuit of endless wealth even when one already has a lot is a sickness, not a virtue. Basically get them out of the way of economic progressivism in our country.
- Bring back Keynesian economics
- Vehemently enforce sedition laws even if it seems unfair to many. What is unfair is if our democracy is overthrown by seditionists who essentially will claim this country for themselves and themselves only.
- Take out "kid gloves" treatment of white people that essentially corrupt many white people over time, much like a parent that spoils children is effectively harming their child.
