There is truth here but there are modern twists.Smitty-48 wrote:The VCW or whatever you want to call it, is really just a return to the normal state of affairs in America, the Second World War and associated Cold War aftermath was the aberration, but soon as the Soviets went away, it has gone back to les deux solitudes, and now it's basically back to the 1920's and Warren G. Trump & Co are demanding the proverbial "Return to Normalcy" all over again.
The Two America's locked in furious agitation, is the rule, the Cold War truce, was the exception.
First: those out of power can never overcome the status quo without changing the rules because the rules established the status quo in the first place. Because the rules have been in force for so long, many Americans up to my generation called them "The American Dream."
Second: abolition, suffrage, unionization, Communism, from 1850 and for a century afterwards was exactly your point.
Third: There's always been way more losers than winners, and losers "win" via Collectivism.
What's different now is "the World is flat" model: we are all connected, and more importantly, the losers are connected, and know their numbers are vast. For example, the Democratic Party is composed of women, minorities & weirdos, and they don't want or need anybody who was successful with the status quo, which means no White people, and especially no male White people.
