And the right says the Democrats are actual fascists, the left says the right is actively stripping human rights, the right says the left is actively murdering babies. Both are just flinging shit. Yes, the GOP are deplorable bastards, so are neo-liberals and SJWs. The problem is the politicians themselves, not the team they are on. Every speech and news article is designed to rile you up against the other side these days. If we focused our efforts on getting these corpses and puppets out of our government we would find that, outside of some extremes, Americans have more in common with each other than the media wants us to think.
You’re comparing people who strip rights from women and minorities to people who believe in equality and trying to say they’re both as bad as each other. This is only true if you believe that some members of society should be treated badly at least a bit.
No rich person actually has to fight in any war, that’s the job of those dirty poors. And every gun/round sold is extra money to the (rich) people who made investments into the MIC and media propaganda machine.
The US is not nicely divided between North and South like it was in the 1860s. A civil war now would look more like The Troubles + mass shootings, than it would Gettysburg-esque battlefields. Political assassinations would be happening constantly. Mobs torching neighborhoods of their political opponents.
It would be very difficult to be insulated from that, short of fleeing the US (which I’m sure many rich people would).
Left news: A Trump dictatorship is inevitable
Right news: A Biden dictatorship is inevitable
Actual news: The media wants you to start a civil war with your fellow man to distract you from eating the rich.

It’s a uniparty. And you’ve fallen for their song and dance.

Man, listen to yourself.

It’s a bizarre take.
from rioting in the streets to stop the destruction of the environment
slight disagreement but overall excellent thesis.
Biden and Trump are both rich. No rich person wants a civil war, that would get most rich people killed.
