You joke, but ... fore many white men these job prospects (cop, immigration office, jail guard) are a reality. The factories have all moved away. If you're a contractor, doing roofing or painting for example, you're competing against illegal immigrants that work under the table.

Don't worry the Dem's won't figure it out, LOL. The party is stuck in 1990.
"...all you have to offer young men is a lecture on their unearned privilege..." This, ten thousand times this. But, the Democratic party really has nothing to offer men ... please don't shoot the messenger. Blue collar work is hard, it chews up the body, saying you're bringing these jobs back isn't a recipe for hope.
20% of the population is functionally illiterate in any language, an no one could out simplify Trump's simplified language, 'I good, she bad'.
Exactly this. A small organized group of ultra rich, making everyone's life miserable. Buying up social media, newspapers, TV and spreading their dumb propaganda. Fox 'news' started it, Musk kept going with Twitter.
Trump is fine with concentration camps. Who is going to staff them? If he forces the National Guard to do it, the people in the National Guard arn't going to be too happy, it's not fun work.
Could have settled into a northern Europe socialist type country. Good social safety net, good labor laws. Instead the country is going the way of petty, central American, dictatorships.
As with all elections. The youth don't come out, but the elderly do. Elections are decided by retired people.
Why nine barrels?
I wonder how this would trend if we cut out comic book movies from the stat.
A military takeover of the cities would last about 20minutes, if that, it's against the HOA rules.
What happens when the wealthy home owners see their property values drop, because the army is on every corner, they'll start calling their political reps.
This is a childish fantasy, the highest real estate values are in cities, the wealthiest people have homes in cities. It is a fantasy of the Republic base, that tends not to live in large urban centers.
In 1776 Americans went to war with England to preserve slavery in the colonies ... fixed that for you.

Except the parents aren't hippies but run a Yoga studio and make podcast to stay afloat, are apolitical and don't vote. Alex's only successful venture has been to transform his parents' yoga retreat into an oligarchs brothel catering to Russian billionaires and Chinese whales.
