Honestly it feels like if you haven't seen the writing on the wall by now nothing is going to shake you out of it. Liberals will keep clinging to institutions and laws while the rug gets pulled out from under them. Sputtering and hoping to just vote their way out of this one.
Yes, more and more people are failed by capitalism. But porky keeps an in-group of influencers, propagandists and pigs as a force multiplier for their ideology. As once-high paid liberals find their jobs going away, porky just increases the power / resources of the in-group along with creating strategies to bind the poor to the wealthy.
Therefore the attenuation of the “middle class” is priced into the system, so to speak.
Class consciousness starts with the part of the working class being exploited the most and grows up from there. More and more comfortable “middle class” workers are beginning to see the cracks in their standards of living.
all I can hope is that this radicalizes the fuck out a bunch of people and they break out of liberalism
Sadly - that won't happen. Instead libs will simply tell everybody to vote harder and vote blue... you know the thing. In fact - some democrats will campaign on issues like abortion. I guess the spin will be something like "You better vote for us (and donate to us) while you still can and we are still a democracy. We'll do something... eventually."
You'll see libs doubling down and getting more committed to their ideology. But that's because their numbers are shrinking. It's not the fence-sitters that stick through year after year of failure, it's the true believers.
what am I going to snack on if the aborted fetus supply chain is threatened?!
jokes aside,, all I can hope is that this radicalizes the fuck out a bunch of people and they break out of liberalism

I take a different approach:

The only radicalization that happens in this country is towards the right.
I dunno my whole friend group is now some flavor of radical leftist, and we have all shifted in the past 5 years.

Wrong, it will deradicalize people because "I don't like them either but we must :vote: to make abortion legal in all 50 States!"
