It's my view that promising people hope and change and then bailing out bank donors as they threw 10 million families out of their homes was the defining political moment that birthed this era & it's my view that liberals/Dems still refusing to reckon with this & discard the politics that led to it is part of why this descent persists.

You can of course disagree. There were plenty of other big moments that brought us to this point. But I don't think my particular opinion on this is so crazy or illogical that it should be laughed at.

In fact, I think when liberals scoff at/downplay/eye roll what happened in that absolutely pivotal 2009-2010 moment, they are proving that somehow even now at the safer distance of history, they still refuse to honestly reckon with the mass social destruction that isn’t merely part of the past - it is still reverberating today.
