It's interesting, I was watching peaky blinders a while back and thought the similarities as far as political climate were pretty interesting between the 3rd season and now. Huge resurgence in populism/nationalism in the 30s and rise of fascists, things are waaaaaay better now than in the 30s... but still interesting.
I think a lot of folks share your sentiments, and the solutions are super complex and involve changes to all aspects of our society. These discussions tend to sprawl because obviously it's bigger than just guns.
My perspective here is folks keep voting for these wing nuts who are promising to smash it out of the park for their team, that's horse pucky, they never do that's not how the system works.
I'm a big fan of the guy that consistently hits singles and doubles, those are the kinds of solutions we need.
Politicians are not the answer. Both parties. 95% of them are there to get famous or make money.
I have my solutions to that problem but I’d rather not the SS follow me around.
We don’t elect smart people that make smart decisions, we elect people off of feelings and gut impulses. (Medias fault)
It absolutely pains me to find someone elected to congress that I would pay to run my business let alone the presidents we’ve had. And that’s where we are. Vote with your gut…..
Kennedy: had dads backing
Johnson: got put in by his political cronies and Kennedy dying.
Nixon: watergate
Ford: got in because of watergate
Carter: got in as an outsider and failed because the insiders wanted him to
Reagan: got elected for change
Bush: got elected on continuance of Reagan
Clinton: elected for change
Bush:elected because of his daddy sbd change
Obama:elected for diversity and change
Trump:elected for change
Biden:elected for change.
We don’t get the best, we get what isn’t what we have because we think the other is better.
We are Idiocracy.
