Thanks to Our Manchurian Candidate

doing absolutely nothing to stop it, the United States is rapidly going into decline.

All on purpose, all in the attempt to establish a permanent aristocracy in this country. Totally anti-American, but that hasn't stopped the neolibs in both political parties from pursuing this insane course:

Perhaps most emotionally devastating of all – Et tu, Brute? – we’ve suffered the betrayal these last years of another Democratic sell-out, a supposedly liberal-if-not-socialist president actually so conservative and so sold-out that he couldn’t even bear to pursue his own personal interest sufficiently to produce a successful presidency, but has rather continued and amplified the worst characteristics of the open sore that was the Bush presidency, even in the midst of crisis opportunities not seen since the 1930s.

So, no, by this time, my heart was not really broken when my former home-state, Wisconsin, voted emphatically to commit suicide this week. But only because there’s so little of that heart left to break. Shards here and there were crushed and extinguished, to be sure, but I am becoming rapidly beyond caring about the country I live in, a place and a people so determined to get it wrong at every juncture imaginable. At some point, don’t you just have to stop trying and let the substance-abuser finish the job on their own?

This country is dying, let’s be clear. It may live yet. It may survive for decades in slow decline. It may find a way in utter crisis to throw off, before it is too late, the fat slimy boa which is squeezing every last cent of value out of it. Its political class may invent a devastating foreign crisis with massively grim consequences in order to deflect public attention from its manifest failings. Maybe it will even be some combination of all of the above.

Apathy is the worst thing that is going on with the public. They have taken too damned much for granted and don't realize just how fragile the foundation of this country is.

If there is one good sign at all, it is the change in demographics with the young being far more liberal/progressive than the older generations and the increasing number of minorities. THAT is probably the reason the neolibs have decided to take over the political apparatus; they know they have to do it and marginalize the new majority before it is too late for THEM.

Tragically, it will all likely end in bloodshed.
