  To be fair, I think liberals do deserve some blame for the current state of affairs.

    That is vague. “Liberals” and “liberal ideology” are just terms conservatives use when blaming others as well. It doesn’t matter who.

      OK you want me to be specific? Democrats. Democrats that are just as much in bed with Wall Street as any Republican. Democrats upholding the power structures that perpetuate systemic oppression and privilege to funnel the wealth produced by working class Americans into the bank accounts of the rich and powerful.

        There is no denying that. Both parties can be just as bad in that respect. The Democrat “neoliberals” are just as bad as perpetuating the “free market” myths as Republicans are with thinking that Reaganomics was ever viable.

        However, the deregulation efforts of Republicans are about as blunt as you can get about funneling money to investors under the guise of “creating jobs” and “saving costs”. The last Trump-era corporate tax cuts simply resulted in massive stock buy-backs that didn’t change services much, but just pumped money back to the wealthy. The medical industry deregulation plans coming up will do exactly the same. (There is a reason why medical industry campaign contributions are only slightly skewed to the Right.)

        Let’s not forget how Republicans demonized and gutted the ACA as “socialist healthcare” to make sure that all Americans would keep getting forced into years or medical debt.

        I guess none of that matters if plans continue with Project 2025. Who knows how a fascist dictatorship will play out of those plans move forward. (If you actually read the thing, the Republican backing of that thing was extremely broad.)

    It’s that kind of minimizing that cost the Democrats the election.
