>Democrats are the conservatives now
Yeah, we know that already. Anyone with an IQ over 70 could have told you that liberals becoming war hawks, institutionalists, and neocons made them into the new puritanical conservative party.
>5 decades of globalization have destroyed job security, living standards, social cohesion, and domestic industry
One political movement says, "hey! Look at me! I may be a little clownish, but at least I hear you! I'll fix the bad stuff globalism did to you."
Another political party says, "nothing is wrong with working a job and 2 side gigs to afford making ends meet. Have you tried giving up your car and taking public transit or biking to save money? If you're still complaining about the wonderful way that things are, then YOU are the problem because YOU are just a LOSER who can't make it in a highly globalized and competitive job market. YOU are probably a NAZI!"

So, yeah. Who the fuck is going to win?
The side saying that nothing's wrong with globalization and deindustrialization making your living standards harder every year or the side saying that they'll magically fix globalism with a few tariffs and a cartoonish immigration crackdown?

Ultimately, the reason MAGA wins is that Democrats have NO RESPONSE to people who are fed up with globalization, immigration, and crime other than to tell them that it's all a good thing that they should learn to accept

Purple is the color of centrism, whatever that's supposed to mean these days.

Thank you very much. I'm flattered, really. I feel quite honored.

>You can't tell most of the left that forcing women into the workforce was not some might ideological victory of progressive militancy.
I know. That's part of the problem. They don't know that most women were more or less tricked into believing that working for some subsidiary of a soulless transnational corporation is some kind of "liberation." The main problem is that Western leftists are stubbornly attached to identity politics, and that includes toxic feminism. Of course, that's not Marxism. Identity politics is boutique liberalism brought to us by the CIA. But it's really hard to tell that to most Western leftists because it would offend their boutique psedo-left sensibilities. The failure of the left in the West is attributable to their inability to distinguish themselves from the liberal managerial class.

>I'm so addicted to dopamine hits given to me by big tech social media companies that I'm functionally illiterate
This right here is peak degeneracy. It's not Weimar. It's the very inability to discipline your own mind to sit down and read something. Even the most degenerate folks in Weimar German could actually read a book, but not today's social media addicts. THIS is what will destroy society faster than anything right now.

Holy shit! Thank you. Your response reinvigorated my hope in humanity. Not only did you understand what I posted, you understood that the atomization of the population is what's leading to social problems. I must say that you're way more optimistic about the high tech surveillance regime that they're imposing than I am. I do hope that it at least leads to chaos. I can't hope for rebellion. But I can hope for chaos such that we become ungovernable.
High tech dystopian technocracy is the real enemy in today's era of international oligarchy

This. Zoomers don't know of a time when liberals weren't a bunch of cringe woke trump derangement syndrome maniacs. All they know is that the right is le based because they own the libs. the George W Bush administration began the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and implemented the Patriot Act, which is literally what has enabled shit like COVID-19 lockdowns, media censorship, and high tech mass surveillance. Democrats became neocons I response to Donald Trump, and everyone forgot how bad the classic Bush style neoconservative Republican was
