People who don't think it's real are simply not living in realty. Check the demographic shift of the country over the last 40 years. Where do these people stand politically? There's your answer. All other speculation is just ignoring the obvious.

once Trump is gone it will be interesting to see if they become more moderate. Everything now is so extreme just to spite Trump.

I think it began as an illusion with outside forces (including our MSM to a large degree) to foist this ideology upon us. At this point, it seems to have gathered steam by collecting the useful idiots among its supporters though.

It’s an illusion for the country as a whole but it’s a very real thing in big cities. If this was a European country it might be a problem.

It’s also part of the reason why Trump won the popular vote. Moderates, especially Hispanics are rejecting the far left craziness.

There is a very real portion of the left that is becoming more and more socialist and far left. But at the same time it’s driving true moderates to the right.

I find all of this fascinating.


If it continues to spread across the large urban areas.... eventually there will be a reaction. However that reaction manifest, it won't be good for the country as a whole.
If you're around when this occurs, I don't think you'll be fascinated. You'll be scared shitless and fighting for survival.

Meh.... wishful thinking bud. Remove Trump from the equation and the fundamental differences between us and them don't change. They are progressive Marxist and the only way their ideas are possible is to destroy what is America.
There's no way to avoid this.
Folks that refuse to see this reality are only fooling themselves.

Eventually, one day, we will have to fight to keep America great.

The MSM has got you thinking that America hating woke far left / Muslims are NOT thriving in some areas of our own nation.

I hate to say it but socialism is on the rise in the United States. In times of political and economic upheaval, people flock to both extremes of the political spectrum. Younger Americans have become disillusioned by the way government operates here in the United States and you are beginning to see Gen Z coalesce at the extreme left and the extreme right.

It's a shame we do not have elected leaders with balls to course correct this problem. They will never deal with the socialist issue
There is nothing that the GOP/centrist Dems can do to “deal” with it. There are too many Gen Z / Y in these city centers with no skin in the game who are comfortable upending the system, because why not? It doesn’t matter that this system (capitalism) is the only one compatible with human nature - they believe it’s failing them and they might as well tear it down in the hope that something else will work. They have nothing to lose. That is the philosophy that swept these retards into power

You cannot actively fix it with anything now that they’re long indoctrinated. The education ship has sailed

The good news though is there is a fix and it doesn’t entail action at all. It’s kicking feet up and letting them hollow out their cities and do nothing of significance in Washington when they get there because they’re on the political fringe. It won’t be needed but if it became a matter of survival, the uniparty would end them. These people have no influence in the American mainstream. They are economically and culturally bankrupt

The path forward is disillusionment. You have to let these retards see their vision realized, in as limited form as is safe for the social fabric to survive, and let it get so bad that no one thinks of it ever again. People like Mamdani need to be elected and ruin their cities or these ideologies are going to linger. The correct approach is bandaid off

This! Every single word of it. I have voted for candidates from multiple parties. I will never intentionally vote by party down ballot. I always will vote for the person based on their ideas, ideals, and never based on party identification.

Thank you for this post. I’ve always been amazed by the amount of people that will vote straight party when that party has had a majority in local/state politics for decades, meanwhile that party has enacted policies that have failed or made daily life unnecessarily difficult for those same people.

I see this daily in Southwest Missouri. People will complain about roads, schools, prices, etc. Then they go vote for the same people/party that has manipulated them with fear. Want better roads/schools/parks/etc? Don’t vote down that fraction of a percent tax increase.

Some of you folks bitch and moan about homelessness, drug abuse, etc. How do you propose to fix those things unless legislation is passed that funds programs to help those less fortunate than you. There is only so much that charitable organizations can provide if they are required to operate on private donations alone.

I would love to see a revolution of humanity and compassion where it’s not considered “woke” to help others when they are struggling. Compassion and humanity is not weakness.

I believe most of us want the same thing. A future where you, your family, your friends can, through dreams, hard work and determination can achieve your dreams.

Live your life. Some people will obtain more than you. Some less. Don’t persecute & dehumanize others just so you can get a leg up on them. Doing/saying things just to “own” or “shite post” isn’t a way to govern. It’s certainly not the way to live. Life is too short to treat people like they are less just because of color, creed, or ideals.

I figure based on the history of comments and posts on this forum this won’t be a popular opinion. I implore everyone to stop for a moment. Don’t react emotionally. Really search your soul. You might find it and remember what built and drove this country to greatness. It was OUR collective ability to overcome differences and work together to create something meaningful.
