The Harshest Truth…
Average American Voter doesn’t give a shit about federal bureaucrats. Hell, they are probably laughing about those worthless leeches finally getting what for.
They don’t give a shit about how government is supposed to work. They don’t care, they don’t want to care, and they will resent you if you try to tell them why they should. They want government to “reach across the aisle” no matter how ridiculous that sounds to you.
They don’t want to walk out of the family gathering because of their shitty racist uncle. Hell, half their extended family are Trump voters. They just want to get along and get by. They don’t want to be reminded that their shitty racist uncle is a piece of shit. They have to deal with family about four times a year. They’re lucky if they deal with their elected official once every four years. They don’t want to fight family, and they resent any authority that even suggests they might have to.
They want peace and comity. They don’t want to be told a fight is brewing. They don’t want to be told that they’re in the crosshairs, and their chosen representatives reflect that desire to not want to deal with that shit.
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times. The harshest truth the progressive mind has to face and accept isn’t that our government doesn’t accurately represent America as a whole, but that our government does. Even if you were able to completely wipe our government off the map, and gave the American people a do-over… we would get a government that looks eerily similar to the one we already have.
I’m not exactly the biggest proponent of accelerationism (I don’t think it ever works the way that socialists dream it could), but it is true that sometimes the only thing that can wake people up to what government is doing is when the leopards they voted for start eating their faces.
