Distract and Divide

 It seems like government officials are going to drag out the presidential election vote counting process as long as possible. Both "sides" are completely invested in the outcome.

We're at the end of a long cycle of power shifting from middle class and working class america to monopolistic corporations.

For the lefties, if Trump "wins", they imagine their whole world will change for the worse. Taxes will continue to be slightly lower, maybe a whole 1% lower! Trump's apparent lack of concern about the 'rona means they'll have an incalculably small chance of dying from a cold or flu this season. The odds of the US getting into another middle east war will be slightly lower. Whatever Trump is, his presidency hasn't really been that different than any previous one, except all the noise. Trump's administration has slightly restructured international trade deals, but the overall trajectory of corporate america and neoliberal policies will be the 99% the same as prior administrations.

If Biden wins, business as usual from Bush I onto the 0bama administration will continue. The US will keep being sold off with various beneficiaries in congress and the executive branch cashing in on the fire sale. For some reason, liberals believe corporatocracy is really great. It's pretty bizarre.

The American nationalist people pinned their hopes on Trump, but that was pretty stupid. That group needs to start rebooting the country from the grass roots up. There's no chance for a top down reformation. The government is 100%  corrupt and owned.

The liberals are too stupid to see their beliefs are a bunch of nonsense smoke and noise that provides cover for a small group of oligarchs and their policies.

95% of the people on both "sides" have mutual interests regardless of race. They're all middle class dupes of this scummy system.

The liberals see nationalized health care as a boon. That might make sense if it weren't just enshrining a cartel in law and making everyone subject to it.
