Excellent commentary, "people get the government they vote for, good and hard." It seems progressive politicians have fooled enough of the people, enough of the time to stay in office long enough to be destructive.
I fear we've entered the "vote themselves largess from the treasury" phase of a nation's arc. With enough voters out there believing that they can simply live off the backs of others, politicians who promise this are rewarded.
“The true divide in politics isn't Blue Team vs Red Team, or any other version of left-right power-seeking. It's between those who wish to run their own lives and those who want others to run them on their behalf. Societies based on the former have prospered. Societies based on the latter have suffered.”
