I sometimes feel I'm in the invisible middle of the horseshoe, looking in despair at both sides.
There is no right-wing in America. They're just an america-sentimental flavour of the same controlled establishment bs. They are a bunch of weak-willed appeasers who fall dutifully in line behind the first trumped-up game show host who happens along to dazzle them. Any backbone has been squeezed out of them, they think that whinging incessantly about how the "evil left" has infringed upon them is some kind of moral statement, but a real moral statement would have been to
never let it happen in the first place. They have no self reflection, because if they did that might threaten their pseudo-toughguy image. In fact, that's too charitable—I don't think they're even
capable of self reflection without some kind of opposing anchor, they're only capable of throwing that accusation at
others. They've been mind-numbed into thinking that political engagement is throwing out 'zingers' at their enemy. But it never works quite like it does on TV, and they're in constant ego-crisis of the fact that they'll never be Bill O'Reilly or Rush Limbaugh. Economically, in 95% of the ways that matter, they're Democrats, but they don't know it. Ethically, their loyalty to a moral code is slightly below their loyalty to the local sports team, and almost as arbitrary.
The left are mostly the same, but slightly worse.
