I know you guys call me a Doomer, but I’m of the belief that even the Middle to Upper and Upper Classes of your nations are slowly getting sick of it
Eh, you aren't that bad.
And you're right they are getting sick of them.
But there is a problem.
They are the establishment of the democrat party and the democrat party has made the lunatic fringe its base and lost all interest in its former base, the working class, middle class, African Americans, and blue collar workers.
They will still claim to be for those groups but don't actually do anything for them but take their votes for granted and fear monger about how terrible the other party is for them.
But the new base...
Fanatical, driven young people that have completely bought in to what they are selling and believe every bit of ridiculous propaganda that they spoon feed them.
They are like the most zealous religious fanatic but for a political party. Utterly loyal to it and immune to any evidence that they might be wrong.
Their politics are their lives. Completely willing to destroy people the party says is the enemy and willing to sever connections to other people in their lives that disagree.
The democratic establishment couldn't have been happier. A rabid dog they could use against whoever they wanted who would never question their leaders.
So having bound themselves to them they eventually ran into the opposite problem of disloyalty. They were being questioned for not being loyal enough to their own ideology.
So the establishment now is having to go farther and farther into the insane far left, far beyond any sense or reason. And they can't pull back and be reasonable because they have alienated their old base and they are terrified their new base might turn on them.
Like a cult leader that was just trying to scam people but now have to act like they believe their own lies because the people they tricked are true believers and will kill them if they try to get away.
I have no doubt whatsoever that if the establishment eventually managed to use the far left to destroy all their enemies they would then immediately try to get rid the far left people and be glad to be rid of them.
Not sure who would win that fight nowadays...
