Jimmy, don’t get so upset. Screaming at morons isn’t going to improve their intellect. The idiots that don’t understand the Oligarch’s Republican-Democrat strategy of the lesser of two evils are always going to be there. Soon you are going to have to realize these rubes with drag you down with them like a drowning man. Do you really want to be dragged down helping some fool that curses you for your efforts? If you research the imposed cultural engineering that has taken place in the US since the end of WW2, you will soon learn why there are so many fools in the population. It has been engineered.
To appease your frustration, you should consider the wise words of George Carlin. Here is one of his quotes germane to your dilemma:
"The real owners are the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians, they're an irrelevancy. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They've long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the statehouses, the city halls. They've got the judges in their back pockets. And they own all the big media companies, so that they control just about all of the news and information you hear. They've got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying ¬ lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want; they want more for themselves and less for everybody else."
"But I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them. That's against their interests. They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly they're getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. “
"You know what they want? Obedient workers ¬ people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork but just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And, now, they're coming for your Social Security. They want your fucking retirement money. They want it back, so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They'll get it. They'll get it all, sooner or later, because they own this fucking place. It's a big club, and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club."
And Jimmy, these days they don’t need people just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. They don’t need Main Street; most of the population is now obsolete. I wonder what George would say if he was still alive?
