But knowing this can be our liberation, since only to the degree that we don't come out of denial, delusion, and cowardice and see this system for what it truly is (i.e., BOTH parties are far to the right of the vast majority of American citizens and voters) and "wake up" and stop drinking ground glass because the elites have Pavlov-conditioned us to think its medicine, is the degree to which we can jump out the political box, "find ourselves", and start living like grown up, patriotic Americans instead of brainless cattle on the way to elite slaughter houses
It's hard not to see contemporary America as something out of a science fiction movie in which there are the ones who eat (elites and their political zombies) and the ones who are eaten (basically, the entire human race). It's not deja vu all over again. It's the 6,000 old year Have and Have Not horror all over again -- and a Have and Have not horror which apparently Obama is going to do nothing substantive to change. Indeed, he's turning out to be just the new "slumlord" in the American Dictatorship of the Rich.
So, where does this leave us?
It leaves us in a hopeless political hell. A few years ago, it could be said that politics is part of the problem, not the solution. However, these last eight year, followed by Obama's status quo flips/flops, have changed that into politics IS the problem. Our new mantra is that POLITICS IS THE PROBLEM.
Hence, our only hope of saving our Constitutional Republic and the rapidly disappearing necessary ecosystems for human existence is to jump out of the political box once and for all.
Meaning? Well, here's a starter which was a response to an earlier submission of this writer from an American named Wayne:
"For now, I urge all who TRULY want radical change to make a small, but highly symbolic gesture. Go down to City Hall and change your voter registration (if you are a registered Democrat or Republican). Register as No Party Affiliation, as I did, or register as a Green, Socialist, Libertarian, Constitutionalist, Centrist, Moderate, or even Marijuana Party -- anything other then the Big Two.
If enough of us do that, believe me, the Jackasses and Pachydems will sit up and take notice.
