^ This person gets it. The "overton window" in American politics is narrow enough that we essentially have a de facto uniparty, that agrees on everything except what matters. About 40% of the country is Independent but we pretend that either of these parties represent us. Then we fight about which party is worse. I can't see any other way that this could have happened after the introduction of fiat currency and endless war budgets financed by fiat. Eisenhower was right about the Military Industrial Complex.
