(55,981 posts)It must be difficult to defend the status quo when our country is collapsing around us.
I do not call for violence. I never have and never will. I believe that the Populist supporters want a peaceful transition back to a democracy. And are hoping that Sen Sanders will help. But those that want to continue on the path to fascism, support the continuation of the status quo and the ideology of the Third Way.
The Plutocratic Oligarchs that run this country are not about to relinquish their powers. In fact they seek to increase their power by reducing our power. The NSA/CIA Black State are gathering information, in violation of our Constitution, on all of us. They have some of the naive believe that it will make them safer. That's bullcrap of course.
Sooner or later the poor of the world will stand up to the Oligarchs and it will be too late for patty-cake. They already have in other countries, but I guess some here are content with the status quo until the poverty level reaches what? 50%? In my community, it is already 51%. More and more people are losing their homes to the banksters like Goldman-Sachs, one of the Oligarch Gods.
