I stopped caring about politics recently. It's just elaborate theater designed to keep people distracted from the banking cartel, which is the true cause, be it direct or indirect, of nearly all of the problems today. It's almost impossible to change most peoples' minds, because their positions are backed by other people whom they surround themselves a lot who also have the same stances, and economic and social opportunities. It's an investment that almost no one is willing to go back on. Even if you present them with strong evidence to support your position, the benefits of staying in the club will always outweigh the truth because they've already put down their time, energy and possibly money for it. The only way they can change their minds is if it's no longer beneficial for them to stay in their clubs, whether it's because they stopped providing benefits, or they could gain more by joining other clubs. That usually happens due to a shift in economics.
I put more stock in economics (no pun intended) over politics and culture because it's a far greater indicator of the state of any country, past, present and future. Politicians can say whatever they want and not follow through and culture provides subjective views on how society operates but are very biased and opinionated. Economics, however, is objective, like mathematics. At its core is the study of choice. Examining economic data can tell a lot about what people value, and what they may do.
For that reason, I no longer have a political position or belong to any political club. I see contemporary politics like I do the seasons and any other cycle. The world's only going to go down one road regardless of whether you or I want it to go that way. And just like winter comes after fall, collapse will comes after decadence. Civilizations throughout history have been where America is today. It's only a stage in the cycle of empires and there's no use fighting the inevitable. The best thing you can do is get out of the way. Lastly, I'll give you this - I too am tired of the miserable state of the western world, and by extension the internet. Having grown up in both worlds and seeing them turn them to shit aches my heart so much, and knowing all these efforts to reverse it are for ultimately futile doesn't make things any better. If anything, the collapse of the US economy is the only thing I'm looking forward to, Sure it'll be far worse than the 1930s and likely billions of people around the world would suffer to carrying degrees, but it'll be a mercy kill, and hard times do create strong men after all.
Merry fucking Christmas.
