Subject: Re: The Widespread Demise of the Democrats

To be fair, those aren't political divisions. They are actual ethnic groups. Which, of course, can become tribal. But I think they are distinct from other political divisions. Also, within their ethnicities you will find black Reps, black Dems, black Wall Street people, Latino Reps, etc, etc.

Point being, they are unhappy and worried REGARDLESS who is President or running Congress.

True. However, different groups of people were unhappy when Obama was in charge versus Dubya, or the Felon versus Biden. There was unhappiness, but it was not the same folks each time (generally).

Yes. actual ethnic groups.

BUT, whether it's an ethnicity, or sects WITHIN ethnicities - (whites also) ---they are slowly splintering not just like usual, but into sects and castes. We're a 200 year old nation - we have no clue how this works. Give it time.....it's in progress.

On the groups of people happy -- again I agree -- in a tribal society, when one side's Mufti is in charge, they are prone to feeling better. or SAYING their feel better.

But when all bets are off and they feel like they're in deep shit - they go for the other guy, at least enough do for an electoral win.

Just ask Obama. Then Trump. Then Biden. Then Trump.

Going forward. culture and socioeconomics dictate that the non 401K'ers - of all stripes will not be remotely content.

I've long said that the new American Dream is "I made my bills this month and i didn't get shot at".

Keep watching.

Even some in the media have started to report this.

OnePoorGuy- as long as even a large minority of citizens feel this way...... it's tough to move forward in a quality way.

Hence i've said - 2 more election cycles to go, to get this right.

But i'm npt optimistic.

As i used to say on TMF: America will be a first world country with loud, visible, structural 3rd world traits.

It's coming.

Some of it is here where even Sheeple can see it.
