Hear! Freaking hear!
We're going over a cliff-a paralyzing amount of debt that increases every year (regardless of party control), starting fires across the globe while alienating allies, demographic and social issues that bite. Saying other places are cesspools does not address our own issues...not a single iota.
Not being able to look inward and clearly see our issues and the solutions we've put forward haven't worked is lunacy and a prescription for ruin.
To only put forward partisan insults and assignments of blame is to be blind. Both Dems (lefties) and Repubs (righties) are at fault for our mess. Neither are free of blame. The amount of blood and treasure the repubs are responsible for with their reckless wars is not benign. Repubs love the cheap labor immigrants provide. Trump loves big budgets that significantly add to debt....too name a few examples.
Joker did you know that the repub-led senate stripped away measures to defund trans surgeries and homosexual operas as foreign aid?
Remeber Trump saying he will release Epstein Files then got pissed when pressed to do so? Same with JFK.
We're being sold down the river. And, instead of holding those selling us into perdition accountable, what do many of us do? We go full mindless tribal and cannibalize one another at the commands of our tribal leaders..the ones who are selling us out.
Maybe the self-righteous pr!cks from across the ocean are correct in their criticism. We should thank them. If they see our faults as validation of their moral superiority, so what? That's their problem.
Our problems are our problems...that we need to fix. But, too many of us have our heads so far up our a$$es, it doesn't lend to too much optimism that we'll provide proper fixes.
