Trump’s America
You know I'm a lifelong construction worker right? I spend all day every day with guys scraping by, not blue collar, but no collar work. People's notions of mansplaining "The country " crack me up. I am closer to it than pretty much single other poster here. At any rate, I'm on the run, but you deserve a more complete response which I will definitely return to

I'd honestly appreciate if you fleshed the point out a bit more because I'm not 100% sure I am totally understanding what you are saying. Yes, it was the norm at some point, but not so much in my lifetime. What @Gatorubet wrote more closely mirrors my experience, though I was born in the 70's. The conception of what middle class life is now bears no resemblance to my childhood whatsoever.

Trump’s America
I agree with part of this, and appreciate the thoughtful post (most of yours usually are). The fact that Democrats need to listen is 100% correct. And your last sentence is absolutely spot on. The middle, I vary on the items from somewhat to absolute over the top vehement disagreement. I don't know if you saw it, but I quoted in another thread a post I made on another board almost 10 years ago, and it says the exact same thing. People have never had it so good. Period. This is always the go to charge obviously, Democrats tell people this, and they get mad and don't vote for them. I totally agree with supposition that by the way. But I'm not a democrat running for office and I don't need anyone's vote, so I am happy to point this out. People are having to stretch money a teeny bit further, so you toss out any sense remaining of the American ideal? Considering having to make marginally tougher financial choices than 2019 still puts someone lightyears ahead of anyone, and I mean, anyone, living in say 1995. I'm just not going to agree with them, and my loyalty to them as a citizen has died. I'm not celebrating this, in fact I find it quite sad, but it's the truth. The social compact has been severed. Mainstream US governance has delivered the most prosperous and comfortable set of humans that has ever graced our planet. It's literal insanity to throw it away, and all of us are going to pay the price. And all over some nebulous emotional impulse that says they aren't doing as well as they should, which is by definition impossible to attain, there is literally nothing that anyone could do to change the way the feel because the sickness is inside them. Trump is unequivocally not describing their reality, he is describing the unreality they have created in their minds.

This circles back to similar ideas in the young men thread that astounded me. At what time are we talking about here? During the 1950s? I can definitely buy that. But in my lifetime? No one I know would have conceived of this. And I don't say this to deny it is prevalent by any stretch, but just to say it's so foreign to me to have that outdated of a concept of American that I struggle to understand how that got from older generations to younger people these days. It's like electricity arcing over a gap. I mean, that's what I've been saying

I honestly find this line of thinking fascinating as it's something that I have never perceived from the Democrats in almost 40 years (Tipper Gore), but get bombarded by from the Republicans.

No, but I think it's gonna be unpredictable.

What I mean is someone outside the current in crowd that will challenge the Democrats verities and orthodoxy of their approach. Obviously someone who is inspiring and hopeful, not a hateful piece of shit like Turnip.

Trump’s America
While I agree with you for the most part, I do doubt that their competency has increased any meaningful amount. Being just the true believers now, I suspect it's probably going to regress a bit. That would literally be an example of what I'm talking about.

It's really going to take a left leaning Turnip type figure to break through this.

I think this is exactly right. I said it before, if there is one upside to this, it's laid the truth bare about America. There's not any room for illusion and wishcasting anymore, this is who we are. One thing I would definitely like to say though, as far as me personally, when I speak of being transactional, I'm not going out of my way to be mean to anyone. I just don't care. I'm by default someone who greets people with a smile, kindness is always something that matters to me. But I'm not going to help you anymore if you chose this unless there's something in it for me. That's what you voted for, so that's what you will get. I'm not going to sever my preexisting relationships either if someone voted Turnip. But those relationships will absolutely change into something less than they were, and that isn't something I chose, but something those people chose. As I summed up before, these people chose to break the country willingly, it's on them to put it back together if they want.
