It seems to me that the Republicans lose members of moderate views and scientific education, and replace them with evangelicals and Christian radicals who take the Bible literally. These may be attracted by the Tea Party. The newcomers add to the Republican pool of white radical Protestants, making it the ideological harbor of those who feel threatened by the growing influence foreign ethnicities have in inner politics. The traditional concept of the so-called WASP no longer is the dominating group in America, and since quite some time already, and for the Republicans, who traditionally attracted these and had their voter basis recruited amongst these, this is a threat to their own competitiveness against the Democrats, who gain voters due to their increasingly unhidden socialist agenda that promises candy falling from heaven, and their higher attractiveness for non-white immigrants.
The deep rifts between both political dominant groups in America seem to be set for not going away soon. It seems that instead the trenches get dug deeper and deeper. And the conflict science versus religion becomes an increasingly important battlefield on which especially the Republicans define themselves. And the more they lose, the more radical they become. |
That's because both parties have actually united and turned the US into a nation that is actively operating as a fascist oligarchy. The republic was doomed in 1913 with the signing of the Federal Reserve Act, which turned money from value to debt, and forced people to give up all their gold and silver in exchange for worthless paper fiat currency. This took all the real bargaining power from the people, and put it in the hands of few, wealthy bankers.
The whole two-party system only serves to keep the people of this nation divided on every issue possible, be it race, religion, color, creed, or otherwise. A nation divided cannot stand, and especially cannot stand against its tyrannical government!
This whole system was designed by the elites to undermine the integrity of the American culture and system, and turn it into a bit of a cyborg controlled by the big money players, most notably known as the Federal Reserve.
The big corporates, the politicians, and the Fed are all intertwined in this system. They all work together to continuously steal from the people, all the while keeping them distracted with things like political debates, the illusion of voting, and of course, the Kardashians. The Kardashians are undoubtedly the MOST important thing in our society today, and "to hell with the loss of our personal freedoms!" Is usually the attitude that is displayed by modern Americans.
As a 4th generation German-American, I can say that a similar thing is happening in Deutschland isn't it?
