Our political spectrum and narrative needs a serious correction

Posted on 2/6/21 at 6:19 am
Our political ruling class, media, and their rabid sheep have shifted so far left that anyone who is a centrist or even slightly left much less anywhere on the right side is now seen as an extremist.
That’s a problem. The entire political class in this country is United against the citizens and we are too blind or lazy to fight back. Republicans and Democrats are literally the exact same thing in DC.
They have pushed the narrative that they’re normal for so long and that anyone who doesn’t agree with then is some kind of violent extremist lunatic that they can now get away with anything and no one calls them on it because our media is complicit.
The US government is building military fortifications around the Capitol and surrounding it with troops on US soil and somehow we have accepted that as normal and people who question it as extremists?
Multiple cities last year were subjected to violent riots and destruction and we somehow have accepted that as normal and anyone who questions it as lunatic extremists?
The president of the United States is setting record numbers of executive orders completely subverting the legislative process this country was founded on while the legislature has done nothing other than pass indefensible multi trillion dollar spending packages and try to impeach a man who isn’t even in public service anymore and we have accepted that as normal and anyone who questions it is an extremist?
The president put an obese transgender mental patient as an assisted secretary of health and it was celebrated as an achievement?
Does anyone even recognize this country anymore? We are on a full speed runaway train with no breaks headed towards a cliff.

An equally large problem is the surprisingly significant portion of the populace that falls for the rhetoric, and is also active and complicit in destroying the spirit and foundations of our great Nation.

It will swing back again - likely sooner than you think and much sooner than the election fraud criminals believe

Bottom line is they get no resistance. Some of these Republicans need to put their finger in some of their communist colleagues faces in the hallways of congress. They scared though

What makes you believe that your perspective on these problems is considered 'normal'. Are you truly being objective or are you being politically biased yourself.
There has always been a ruling class, I won't deny you that. But a centrist view would be that extremists need to be removed on either side. Also, what is your definition of left-wing extremists. That is a loaded term and it's too ambiguous without context. The same can be said for right-wing extremists.
The other fact you need to consider is that evil is often pragmatism. A racist, terrorist, or any other bad actor isn't going to wear a sign saying they agree with those ideologies. They are smart enough to know how to hide those things behind certain words and actions. A common term used is 'dog whistle'. And it's been used by both sides over that past few years to the point of becoming commonplace.
If you take time to look at EOs, the Trump administration passed 220 of them. It was just more spread out in his 4 years.
Executive orders
If you truly want an honest discussion, try going to a more neutral website instead of just preaching to the choir.

It’s already too late. We may as well just enjoy our lives and do what they tell us. The people in this nation have no fight.
I’m a veteran and have fought in a war and I thought I was actually fighting for something because I was young and believed in this nation.
I realize today the the people in this nation are not worth fighting for. We have the government we deserve!

“The Great Reset” means the era of representative government is over. Heretofore, we were at least given the illusion of choice,

Do you realize how stupid that sounds? That's 55 per year. Do you think Biden will be at 55 by year's end?

Excellent chart. It's about time that people realize that Marxists calling themselves Anarchists are lying.

Didn’t a lot of Trump’s EO’s involve curtailing the power of government while Beijing Joe’s are expanding the power of government?

Pro free speech? Well that means you support hate speech you nazi! Mass censorship is necessary to protect our fragile minds!!
Pro guns? Domestic terrorists
Against the modern surveillance state? White nationalist supremacist terrorist
Left wing news outlets are now voicing the opinion anyone who believes in Qanon should be drone striked. Keep in mind these people aren’t breaking a law, and talking heads are talking about ex-judicial assassination— all for THINKING differently
Need I continue?!?

Not blind or lazy. Too much to lose. When it happens, it is going to have to be big enough, and include enough real Americans to prevent all the powers that be from just rounding up and persecuting the actors. 1/6 at the capitol was a play, but look what happened to the idiots who got swept up in it.
It has to get much worse before it can get better. Thankfully, both political parties are doing their part in making it so.
