When Democrats lose vs When Republicans lose

[question everything]

7. Yes, look at the calendar.

In the 50s many workers were unionized, worked in manufacturing, were offered pensions and were able to send their children to college, often with one income.

Starting in the 70s we moved from a manufacturing based economy to a service based one. Manufacturing jobs were shipped overseas, we liked the cheap electronic that were made overseas that we could find in Walmart.

Until then the wealthy were inventors and entrepreneurs who took chances. Staring in the 70s the wealthy have been investor banking and lawyers specializing in merging and acquisitions, win or lose they got their rewards.

We cannot bring these conditions back.

From where are we going to get the funds to pay for all the freebies that so many wanted during the 2020 primaries?

Just “taxing the rich” will not achieve this. Also, while in the 50s there was a sense that we were all in this together today many want to make money differently. “Looking for number one.”. I still don’t understand what an “influencer” is and how they are earning an apparently good living.

I don’t know what the answer is; I know that the majority of the citizens could not care less about others, unless and until they are personally affected.

And let’s not mislead ourselves: Many MAGATS are low income, are dependent on government help but they choose not to think about others in a similar situation. Just full of rage.
