Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

I'll take your word for it, I'm not the religious type, agnostic.

But I can see the parallels between fascism and religion as well as the psychosis involved...which at face value is frightening to those that believe in a democratic representative republic.
Preach it! 🙄
 
This thread is spinning in circles.

As an outsider to this whole thing, I see a lot of confirmation bias from every side.

Is it possible both sides are right and that some are feeling it harder and others are benefiting from it? Almost like society is made up of a variety of people with different wants and needs!?! 😵

Not possible. If my worldview wasn’t 100% correct in every aspect, it wouldn’t be my world view.
 
There will come a day when we will be forced to cut military spending, cut entitlements, and/or raise taxes. Unless I am missing something, everything else in the budget is window dressing.

The day of reckoning might be 30, 40 years from now, and it is a terrible present to hand off to our kids and grandkids.

I see nothing but stunts and rhetoric from either party for decades. Our services are on credit, and we just hand future generations the bill. Any politician who tries to seriously solve this issue will be voted out of office, at least until our credit rating goes belly up, and we can’t continue borrowing.

Normalcy bias on both sides is why we are where we are and why we will ultimately be doomed as a country.
