Corporate institutions have created a Sociopathic Society where the wealth disparity in this country now exceeds that of the Gilded Age. These institutions have programmed us from birth to be mindless consumers of "stuff," including misinformation. Mass media are now dominated by ultra-wealthy con-men typified by Trump (“Truth” Social), Musk (X), and Murdock (Fox), etc., who manipulate the poorly informed and deliberately misinformed to vote against their own and our larger societal interests.
As a result we live in a materialistic sociopathic culture that prioritizes self-interest over societal interest – and more dangerously the health of the planet necessary for our children. It's about instant gratification and "who wants to be a millionaire." It creates fear of the "other," like "invading" migrants looking to improve their own desperately poor lives allegedly at the in-group's (and their cats and dogs) expense. What do MAGA voters think will happen to food prices when all these millions of “boogeyman” are mass-deported? Who’s going to pay for it – Mexico?
We can't pass an equal rights amendment for women, let alone elect a smarter-than-they-are mixed-race woman to be President. Apparently some black and Latino men, and most white old men and entitled young "bros" can't handle it. They’d rather have an unqualified bro-foon – despite his ignorance, racism, misogyny, grifting, felonies, and other clear defects as a human being – be their President.
Despite a post-pandemic economy better than any other in the world and wages outpacing inflation, MAGA voters are too ignorant to know the price of eggs or gas won't change due to electing Trump. They're in for a rude awakening when the perpetual Republican priority of cutting taxes mostly benefiting the wealthy balloons the deficit even more than in Trump’s first term, and is used – as it always is by Republicans since Roosevelt’s New Deal – as an excuse to cut Social Security and Medicare for working people.
Big business and industry will be more deregulated – ensuring public health and the environment are further harmed in order to let the rich get even richer. They’ll be laughing at MAGA morons all the way to the bank.
