I've been wondering lately, why there's no pragmatism party in the USA or anywhere else. In the US we have the "left" and the "right", democrats and republicans. Ten years ago, the republicans were controlled by the scumbag grifter neocons. They were inept and super corrupt. They stole hundreds of billions of dollars from the people via their failed wars. Americans completely lost faith in that trash. They actually were slowly but surely expelled from power. A handful remain in government, but they no longer are capable of wreaking havoc.
When the neocons lost favor, we got the "left". They're maybe worse. They're every bit as corrupt and inept, but they're also religious zealots pushing "woke" bullshit.
Trump was a sort of pragmatist, or his election showed that's what people really want. I still think he was a fraud and a phony, at least as much as any other politician, but at least he pretended to push the interest of the average American.
Both parties demonstrate to me that people want to be conned.
