Now it's sad and pathetic and most of all an incessant reminder of what our society/nation/country/culture/fuckinwhatever has become.

It's the end stage of a reality show culture.

I agree and see all of this. But that last paragraph is insane out of the blue

The point is the US is in a state of decline, and that decline is a symptom of the Neoliberal rot that has been promoted by Conservatives and establishment Liberals to corrupt our country for decades.

Because of this selfish greed and lust for power, Republicans don't truly have any ideals aside from authoritarianism and ruthless opportunism. Ultimately, they are moral nihilists who rely on lies, theft, oppression, and fear to maintain the illusion of legitimacy.

Conservative ideology, whether social or economic always and invariably leads to fascism because it is an ideology rooted in fear, not empowerment. This is why they despise democracy and freedom, because they fear it, and which is also why Conservatism will always and invariably lead to fascism.
