In the last 5 to 10 years everything seems to suck: product’s and services quality plummeted, everything from homes to cars to food became really expensive, technology stopped to help us to be something designed to f@ck with us and our money, nobody seems to be able to hold a job anymore, everyone is broke. Life seems worse in general.
Why? Did COVID made this happen? How?
People keep electing conservative fascists like morons
America, in particular, doesn’t exactly have an alternative.
To wit,
You take a look at any president since the Carter administration, and they have all been right of centre. Obama was solidly centre-right. Biden is on the threshold of being fully right-wing.
About the only people who sit anywhere to the left are people like Bernie Sanders and AOC, and in most other countries they would be considered solid centrists and milquetoast moderates. They are not extreme-left in the least.
America has no left-wing politicians, much less any on the far left.
But on the far right? pretty much the entire GOP is sitting there with their asses hanging off the fascist end of the political horseshoe.
Your view of the political spectrum is heavily skewed to the left if you think Obama was center-right.
