I just watched an old Johnny Carsen show with Governor Reagan and they discussed this very thing. Two parties work, but only if there is an informed and active electorate, according to Reagan. I agree. Without participation in the Republic, there's a vacuum that gets filled up with all sorts of evil. We saw it then and we're seeing it now.
It's supposed to be a job where everybody agrees we need to fix the problems, but disagree on how to fix them. Instead we have two parties creating problems, avoiding problems, getting rich off the problems, fighting each other over made up problems and leaving we the people with ALL the problems 🤬
Trump's obvious desire to move toward a America First "unity" party is a great move on his part. Bringing in RFK Jr. because they agree that big pharma has to be taken down is perfect.
People bought into the red vs blue bullshit for too long, all while they worked against us, to destroy the foundation on which this country was built, and to make themselves richer and more powerful. They use these diametrically opposed positions to force everyone into one of the two groups--2nd amendment rights vs stripping us of the ability to protect ourselves, freedom of speech vs hurting people's feelings, no abortions vs abortions for all. There is never any in-between or common sense applied to any topic, it's just all or nothing.
It worked in the past, because many people are single-issue voters (women who want the ability to kill their babies, people who want the right to defend themselves, etc.). In the end, it never really mattered who won, because they were all driving us toward a quickly-approaching cliff over which they fully intended to send us over. Bush was in office for two terms. First, he claimed he couldn't do what he needed because he didn't have a majority in the senate... then the house... then he needed super majority. He got that and, still, didn't manage to get done what he promised.Why? Some bullshit excuse. The one thing he did manage to do was make sure the Patriot Act was passed--you know, the thing that shits all over your civil liberties and allows the government to disappear you for, "muh, reasons".
Trump actually kept his promises (as best he could while surrounded by assholes from the deep state, anyway). He showed that, when politicians make promises they don't keep, it's because they flat out fucking lied. They never intended to make good on their promises. Their only interest is themselves and furthering the global agenda (because they're bought off).
Before now, both parties basically patched together a list of "issues", ignoring the fact that some of them are so opposed in nature that anyone with a brain could see there's no way to be for both things (example: "women's rights" vs "anyone can be a woman", or "women's equality" vs supporting religions that treat women as chattel). They never acknowledge the issues that are, by their very nature, prohibitive of others they claim to support. They just keep counting on the stupidity and spinelessness of the average American.
What Trump is doing with RFK Jr. is different. Obviously, he doesn't agree with Trump on everything--I want RFK away from my damned 2nd amendment rights, for one thing--but it doesn't matter, because there are things they do agree on, and that's where they can work together. Trump is going at this from a business perspective, and that's precisely what we need. He's not telling Bobby he can have everything he wants, but he is telling him that one of his biggest issues--food safety and big pharma's threat to health--is something he can have. "Join me, and we'll do that, because I agree it's important. We don't have to be a hive mind, and I'm not going to go with you on other issues, but that one? Take it and run, buddy."
And that's what we need. Enough of this crap that it's either red or blue and you have to hold your nose and pick the one that stinks less. Take what works to make this country better and freer, then gather the people who can get it done. Give them their lane for the issues you can agree with them on. That's how you make things better. That's how you win.
And I have another suggestion for Trump... Tulsi Gabbard for Secretary of State. It's time to put an end to these bullshit wars like the one in Ukraine, which is nothing but a money laundering operation and a way to steal Russia's land from the Russian people.
Well said!

Great comments!
Perfection!
The best way out of the herd mentality, as far as I'm concerned, is to listen to Trump, and apply his Teachings to anything you do
