Prickly City by Scott Stantis for April 05, 2023

The last election !!

Every coyote and every girl should be referenced

In 2016.

Mid way through the 1990s, but it wasn’t spoken aloud.

The time line is pretty well known, Stantis.

Relentless Trickle Down/tax cuts for the wealthy has resulted in ever increasing wealth inequality.

Ever increasing wealth inequality is a factor in every issue, often the biggest factor.

.

Along the way, we get the invasion of Iraq and a million covid deaths with Fox and the right wing media structure weaponizing and LYING about every issue.

Isn’t “Every Man For Himself”, pretty much…

The Libertarian platform?

It hasn’t, that just a reflection of Stanti’s depression tied to his inability to cope with a changing world to include the collapse of morality within his GQP.

Since we put an Orange Goon into the White House who believes that he’s more important than the country.

If I am not for myself, who will be?

If I am only for myself, what am I?

Under One Party’s world view “every man for himself” becomes the motto as robber barons use and crush others for their own individual greed to the detriment of everyone else. Under the Other Party’s world vision the motto becomes “every man for himself” as they encourage and prod identity groups to seek more and bigger pieces of the pie for themselves and their collective entitlement greed to the detriment of anyone else.

Old Soviet joke: “Under Capitalism man exploits man; under Communism it’s the other way around.”

Tricky Dick planted the seed.

Newt Gingrich had a lot to do with it.

The Usual Suspects, spouting The Usual Vitroil. Boring and repetitive.

It’s always been an undercurrent. The modern version started with Nixon, got a big boost when Reagan invited in the Religious Right, and everything went south in 2016 when djt brought together the Christian Nationalists and the White Fascists.

Actually, been a long time coming. Definitely got a boost during the Reagan years.

Incredibly and ignorant ’toon.

Republicans changed it about 20 years after “in dog we trust” was printed on the money.
