(11,356 posts)and blame Reagan and the Reagan democrats for the rise of the GOP and the poisoned political environment.
Those Reagan democrats were mostly the silent generation, not mostly the boomers.
But the one thing that Reagan and the current political parties can always count on...is the willingness of American's to turn on other americans.
Without that horrid national trait, we might be more progressive.
But no, the middle class non-labor union turns of the middle class labor union..
and the middle class pretty much everyone turns on the lower class
And very occasionally the moneyed class gets a little tiny bit of shit on it.
But not to worry, the average american is more than willing to pound on the other average american's to such a great degree that the moneyed need only throw another piece of meat in the ring...
