Thanks to naivete I made an error in judgement in my early twenties

67. Yeah, those bastards are like Freddie Krueger, Jason and Michael Myers.

They create carnage and destruction and then you think that the country has had it's fill of them, but they keep coming back over and over. They say it'll be different in years to come because of demographic shifts, but I can't help thinking that the powers-that-be are scrambling even now to get their ducks in a row and turn it all to their advantage. They know how to make people vote against their best interests and how to stir resentment within groups. They've been doing it for a long time now. We've got a generation coming up the pipeline that's forecast to be more liberal, more in favor of issues like reproductive rights, gay marriage and income equality, more secular and racially diverse. But, the 1% is canny and know how to divide and conquer and have been pitting people against each other and their best interests for a long time. I'm always astounded at conservatives who make barely over minimum wage and consider themselves middle class and rail against the 47% that depend on government assistance, never once seeing the irony of their situation. I have a feeling the plutocracy has a back up plan in place. They don't plan on relinquishing control to any future generation.
