Are liberals right all of the time? Or democrats? Does it somehow make you immune to corruption...do you say, oh that’s just part of the game, the process, the system.

Win at all costs, by any means necessary, the end justifies the means.

So it seems that when there are problems they are swept under the rug.

Denial

Party loyalty is fine But it’s even better when the party is healthy and not run by crooks and criminals ripping off the sheep fleecing the flock

Do you look away? Grasp at straws in the face of the undeniable? Make excuses or does it actually suit your purposes that your party is sick unhealthy unfair a lie in denial Maybe you have a job within the party maybe you have political ambitions. What if you even have something to hide.

In a two party system you can always blame someone else, the “other” side. When really you should be working for the common good, because we are all in this together.

You can always claim they are worse. They are evil. And you are the lesser of two evils. Does this give you a free pass?

Is this a game? When so many lives are at stake? When being irresponsible affects so many millions of people? Puts unnecessary burdens on their backs, keeps them from fulfilling their dreams of a good life for the ones they love, for their country, creates unnecessary wars.

Is this what keeps you plugging along? Supporting the power structure, is this what keeps you in line?

Do you really think we as a people are advanced by putting one group against and over and above all people. Does that create harmony or division?

Have you taken off the gloves? Have you vilified certain groups? Singled them out blamed them unmercifully as the root of all evil for long-standing problems that are in all of us.

Have you raised the bar so high that no one can achieve it not even yourself? Does this, the fact that you have created this bar so high no one can possibly pass muster, make you exempt from scrutiny? Aren’t you in effect fooling everyone therefor fooling yourself?

Are you so afraid of fascists that you adopt fascist techniques, violence,
in effect becoming the monsters that you hate and fear?

Are you even willing to sacrifice your freedoms and freedoms guaranteed in the constitution for everyone to accomplish your goals?

Is that really what you want to see? To tear down and destroy the last vestiges democracy so that you and your friends can rule?

What happens when you win? Will you be next on the chopping block? Will someone above you decide that you’re not fit, a threat to the new way?

Is everything new automatically good? Is everything old automatically bad?

What if the problem is not really the system? What if the system is fine but but the people running it have found a way to exploit the system even if it means destroying a perfectly good system, one that has a weak link. What if that weak link is you?

What if the people running it don’t care who or what they destroy as long as they benefit. As long as they come out on “top“. Even if the top is now a pile of rubble?
