They have been wildly successful using social issues ( race, gender, ethnicity, etc) to focus on so people don’t notice the steep decline in American’s quality of life.

It’s the “More” disease and those at the top could have it all and they would still do everything they could to take more.

This is a pathology and it’s literally killing our country.
