There were a couple of minor things in that video that weren't quite right. That lady working for the NYTimes spouting off racist comments apparently only did so after being attacked by right wing bigots, then she decided to mock their bigotry right back by reflecting their hatred from the opposite point of view. Not the wisest move IMO and I think the Times should have fired her. The pendulum will swing both ways and while right now it seems that the NPC meme fits the left to a T, if the next election goes the other way, then that same meme will begin to fit the right. The reality is that each side has their logical blind spot.
The antidote to this back and forth political karma is decentralized crypto.
Let me edit this down to the good parts...
Ya can't believe revisionist history from an NYT reporter... "The Right" is quickly becoming "The Center" as the Dims are abandoning the middle class, common sense and the Constitution. As a Union Member, I applaud all the stuff Trump has done to help bring back American Jobs, curb unethical trade practices by China, KILL the TPP, Renegotiate NAFTA, and basically twist arms of MULTIPLE "American Corporations" who were moving to Mexico. WHILE AT THE SAME TIME Getting a pretty good raise for Mexican Workers at the places where they make parts for US corporate automobiles and trucks.
Yes, there are still plenty of unsavory characters on "the right" but Trump has basically decried any of those groups that are hateful and bigoted. Notice how quickly they arrested that Bomber that sent "pipe bombs" to prominent Democrats, and CATEGORICALLY DENOUNCED his actions. NO ONE in politics should fear for their lives over political positions. Not even Killary, for political stuff. Now prosecution for the death of Seth Rich or one of the plethora of others in the Clinton Body Count? Only after a fair trial!
While I agree with most of what you said, the world is a murky place. The problem isn't Trump as the left keeps saying and I'm glad for the things that Trump has done to screw up the corporate left agenda. However, Trump is a short term solution to a much bigger problem. Authority is destined to go because it has been the source of the terrorism all along (not just socialism). Coercion in all of its forms is fundamentally wrong. The dems and reps are like two cats with their tails tied together and to the victor goes the spoils. The solution is to let the states and individuals go their own separate ways under natural law.
When crypto springs a leak in national fiat everywhere, do you think that Trump is just going to sit idly by? No. He will be forced to come after all us crypto hodlers just as a socialist would, so don't get complacent just because "your guy" is in the cat birds seat. We have "fake news" now because of the internet's outsourcing of all of the most profitable revenue for establishment news corps which gutted their fact checking departments. Eventually crypto will cause the phenomena of "fake money" which will cause practically everyone in government to be at our throats regardless of whether they are on the left or right.
I don't generally focus on the minor political theater or make excuses for their behavior. I'm an anarchist and would prefer this whole rotten system be gone.
On these issues...
Never Complacent, ALWAYS VIGILANT! 😤
I am also an anarcho-capitalist at heart, and I am hopeful that when the Crash comes (SHTF) we have a freedom minded individual in place that will not "clamp down" on the purging forces that will surely come. I am also a fan of the "RTR THEORY" which is right on track according to the main adherent of the theory, @bixweir who is/was/used to be a Steemian :-) roadtoroota.com
Yes, we need the over-reaching .GOV to be swept aside, but IMO the main group of founding fathers were likely much more AN-CAP than nearly anyone alive today. The F'ED .GOV is nothing like they envisioned. It is a bloated, wallowing parasite that needs reduced by at least 90+%
