    Unfortunately these people who are rightfully pissed will take out their frustration with liberalism by voting for fascists

      I run into this problem with my dad. He'll go off on a rant about the rich with righteous anger and fury then turn around and say we need to put more black people behind bars and deport all the immigrants.

      Pretty much. She's not even willing to believe that was she was taught was bullshit during her time as well, she's just mad it's struck people she cares about.

    "I don't even think there's classes anymore. It used to be the upper class, middle class, and lower class but now it's just turned into the super wealthy and everybody else is just poor"

    You were told this was a democracy but it isn't and the idea that it "worked" in the past is because the working class interests and solutions lined up with the ruling class.

    Kinda like when you are given a vote for what to eat as a kid and you pick something your parent already wanted so lo and behold you are eating sandwiches.

    Well the same dynamic can be applied to things like the cold war, financial imperialism, westward expansion, etc.

    The problem is that now the chickens are coming home and you are finding out just how disposable you truly are.
