Showing Original Post only (View all)77 Right Wing Oligarchs Want to Finish the Job [View all]
1.Remember the 40 year campaigns against Big Bad Government?
Remember the decades-long hit job on Democrats, mocked as promoters of Big Government as its "takers?
And why "liberal" is still the everyday epithet of the Right?
For 40 years since Ronald Reagan, the political Far Right and Center have mocked and disdained government.
America didn't just hear it from just the Reagan administration, or just on hate radio or just Fox, but now from cable commentators and mainstream news. For 40 years.
2.
For decades Americans heard that the private sector could run America better than Big Government does.
Do Americans remember when the private sector leaped to restore human life and infrastructure after the latest natural disasters? No.
And no, it didn't. It threw paper towels of words at them -- "how are you going to pay for that," "free market solutions," "free stuff," "balanced budget," "thoughts and prayers," "eff you, got mine" 'they' don't deserve" "commie socialism," "urban corruption," "why should we pay for anyone we don't agree with"...
3.
The last time that one third of the government was shut down, news of American suffering gradually broke across the country -- 800,000 out of government cost millions lost security services, abandoned national parks, little to no food inspection, lost coast guarding, lost farm subsidies, unpaid military contractors, crippled courts, and added up to $6 BILLION taken from families, businesses, federal services to taxpayers.
4.
The 40 year PR bullshit story, since shown to be the utter bullshit, has now transformed itself into 2024s real darkness.
In prepping for Project 25 oligarchs laid out ...
-- "Doctrine" factories for the judicial system.
-- 'Vote no and take the dough' for the congressional system
-- ''Take undue credit for all good things' for the voters.
-- ''Christian nationalism' for unread believers.
-- 'History revision wars for education.
-- 'Pejorative lingo to 'groupthink' any subclass into ignorant cynics -- "woke" "radical left" "great replacement" "right to work" "traditional women's roles" "censorship & hostage taking political prisoner patriots drain the swamp, end democracy, establish rule of men for rule of law, "more God in government"
-- ''Dismantle the 3 branches & institutions' for the public sector.
-- ''Dismantle media information on all the above.
The prep work seems to be paying off. But.
As oligarchs convince millions of Americans over time not to want their country to have a government of proportional scale for the 3rd largest country on Earth -- proportional scale -- in certifying protections, elections, making inspections, setting health and safety regulations, developing vaccines, greening and rebuilding infrastructure, judging the entire country by its worst moments those millions cant help but feel on their own, living in political & corporate land that feels like a third world place where no ones coming, and in the free market place where they pay their money and take their chances. That's exactly what their henchman trump tells them, along with "what have you got to lose?"
So the millions adapt to survive the 40 year matrix.
All this 'manufactured consent' so that the fascist oligarch parasite class keep control of at scale power/government/resources of their human hosts.
5.
