I havent seen Blue get any better while i've been alive, at age 25. It seems to have gotten worse, at least Obama talked like a champion of the working class. If anything Obama seemed to scare them, they saw what could happen if we got someone they werent able to control. Luckily for them he was controllable, but it was a close one. The two elections since then, they have had all their ducks in a row to a huge degree. We have had our Consent Manufactured so dramatically over the last 2 elections, that I find it hard to believe we will ever be able to defeat it. Which is of course their goal, we would never know if they actually came close to losing, but that seems speculative.
I think it unironically has taken all those geniuses just to not have had it collapse already. Their skill at delaying the inevitable collapse has been remarkable. Still just a matter of time though
