There's a power vacuum created by the lack of any challenge to the right wing political direction in this country. Even Democrats are encouraged to embrace conservative ideologies regarding crime, war, corporations, etc.
While these policies are wholeheartedly embraced by Republicans, to a somewhat lesser extent they are also embraced by Democrats, thanks to the pragmatic system of letting Wall Street money write our legislative policy.
No one is willing to aggressively challenge the right wing policies creating huge pockets of poverty and disparity of justice. Not Bill, not Hillary, not Obama.
As a result, conservatives have become emboldened. They have no fear of serious counter attack. They own the narrative. That's because strong individuals who are willing to call out the corruption and fraud holding our Government captive will never pass the Wall Street audition. So we settle for more of the same.
Severe tension is building in America. Rich versus non-rich. Religious versus non-religious.
With some help from the violent power of our local police force, Democrats and Republicans have been helping the rich defeat the non-rich. Every single motion our Congress makes, is made to the benefit of the rich, to the punishment of the non-rich.
Making things worse for the non-rich, the mainstream political class has taken away our voice and ridiculed us for demonstrating against the injustice. Whisteblowers are punished. Our most corrupt institutions NSA, FBI, CIA, DOJ, FDA, etc have been turned into bunkers against accountability.
All the well-know toxic ingredients for disparity and extremism are being dumped into a giant cauldron. Just how long do you think it can stay this way?
Is Wall Street going to rush in at the last minute and save us?
No. They'll happily sell weapons and chaos to both sides of the fight.
