I don't think so called leftist slums is the reason for America's problems. It's the anti-intellectual and fascistic right that's fucking the place up.

I'm of a view its both and neither. If you consider one side wants to micro-manage everything and the other side wants to let go the staring wheel completely. Well, that's no future for a passenger on the bus front or back, whilst driving fast down the busy interstate. :roll:

You're buying into the American right's description of the American centre as being a bunch of radical leftists, socialists and communists. US politics isn't a conflict between the left and right but between the soft right and the far right. Nobody in the US is going to have their granny collectivised while being forced to knit yoghurt.

They just ain't one people without the flag but half of them hate the flag too much and half of them love it too much. Depending on the part of the flag specified, it could even be the other way around.

And that's another thing the US far right like to say: if you're not one of us you're not a true patriot, you hate our country, you're un-American etc.

They gonna attack our grid!
The nation’s leading expert on protecting the electric grid from attack urges governors to take the lead because the Biden administration won’t.

In a new alert, Peter Vincent Pry, the executive director of the EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security, said concerns are growing that Russia, North Korea, and Iran are inching closer to testing an electromagnetic attack on the U.S. grid, or parts of it.

The WORLD has gone to shit in a year. Not just America. But they will blame Biden. Not Trump or Putin.

Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
