The US wasn’t designed to conquer others and its population isn’t programmed to accept defeats which they in turn see as America bashing. The show must go on?
Image for a moment if the US had ‘mob rule.’ Obama would have stayed pounding the ghettos as a community organizer and Trump would have probably been in jail. The ‘mob’ would have prevented the endless wars by not voting for those who promote them in the interests of the industrial and military complex. You’d have owned your own privatized currency. All have healthcare, which obviously benefits the people themselves and not for the profit of the medical industry, paid for by the trillions you’ve wasted in the Middle-East. Oh and you wouldn’t need a Homeland Defense Act for the next couple of generations which I’ll bet is expensive to run and all the debt which YOU will pay back.
What did you as an individual gain from all this by following characters like Obama and Trump? Sure, you can now all walk down the street waving a rainbow flag, smoke a joint and you got a tax cut. But was it worth it? You can vote for who you like because nothing will change and the Republic system is designed to make sure you can’t.
