The world is going very wrong.

Politics has always been dirty.  It has always been about money.  Actual open markets, where prices and costs are truly based on market pressures, needs, and wants, not central bankers and central planners setting prices based on politics and kickbacks as much as gambling with commodities, is gone.

Beyond, the forces which kept open markets in play have lost or sold out.  Capitalists are gone, replaced by crony capitalists... socialists really, and outright communists.  Why the switch.  In part to avoid competition.  If a communist or fascist government chooses a winner, that is that.  It is a safe bet, if you think you are large enough to keep your name at the top of the list, then become too big to fail.

When politics is reduced to the left and the right, excluding Christianity, real free thinking, and individualism, and cultural and actual civil rights, politics is reduced to socialism and communism.  And the further truth is that communism, at that point, unless there are external powers which could interfere, always wins in time.  It is the best of the worst.

America used to be the outside force.  Currently we have three political forces.  There are dems and republicans, if pretty much in agreement on most things, only differing in who gets the crumbs and who gets the lion's shares.  It used to be that dems were the socialists as redistributionists and reps the fascists as crony capitalists, once both parties turned against America and Americans.  Now they are both deeper crony capitalists.

And then there is Trump.  He is an anachronism.  A dem from before the party became a globalist asset.  I think there were a few like him in the 70s still.  If most of us, me even as a kid, knew they were rubes.  No one was so naive to believe dems of even the 70s weren't socialist anti-Americans.  Trump?

He's not a... complete rube.  I'd like to say he isn't a rube at all, but... I can't, not fully.  He thinks he has allies, some control.  The only reason he hasn't been shot or impeached is because his enemies are currently using him as a pawn, to be the target of mutual enemies.  It's a dangerous game he plays.  But he is a socialist too, just a pro-American one.

It isn't just politics.  Big business has become either Chinese or global fascist.  They want government(s) too allow them their excesses, help or allow them to destroy competition, and buy from or through them.  And, they will get it.  Until the governments become a government and takes them over.  At this point, I don't think there is a way out.  And, if you notice, they will destroy you.  Yes, they will.
