I’d certainly like to see an honest, open discussion on the disproportionate about the economic and social problems, but that’s never going to happen with the Leftists since they seem to be pathological liars.
Until conservatives dominate the storytelling industries - religion, government, media, and education - it isn’t going to change. And by not doing so it will help to feed that beast. Of course that will result in a civil war.
Well a start on the governmental side seems to be coming from the House Freedom Caucus as they are standing tough against the sort of government under Boehner/McConnell/Obama that makes good people despair. Boehner is trying to force them to knuckle under, and I think a really big part of that is because they provide an alternative narrative that is a huge threat to business as usual because it breaks up the learned helplessness.
I think that’s the problem, people in this country are sort of like the rat in a maze who is entirely too used to being shocked when it pushes one button, and fed when it pushes another. The rats need to break out, find the maze-making/rat trapping s.o.b., and give him/her a good (if squeaky) seeing to!
