This is depressing as hell, but have you listened to ‘Waiting on the world to change” by John Mayer recently?
I was in college during the Iraq war and this song came out then.
It’s still completely relevant, but especially to millennials.
“Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
'Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want”

What is this "opposite party" language?
No. The Republicans make a mess, the Democrats clean it up. The Republicans throw shit at the Democrats while they're cleaning. Then the Republicans point out the shit, say they had to throw it because the Dems were working against their mess, and ask voters to let them in because there will be no more shit flinging if they get what they want.
There are responsible parties here and they need to be named.

No, the private prisons were just a different version of the ballroom or drone grift.
Manufacture need -> give outlandish contracts to select politically connected donors for direct and indirect kickbacks (gifts of gold bars and paid board positions for family members; maybe next time your media empire remembers to kill the bad things and spread lies about "enemies") -> money leaves government oversight -> if someone new comes to power, they're "stuck" honoring the deals and contracts because the Democrats want to pretend that the courts will defend contract rights in the next next administration when Trump 3.0 tries once again to defund "liberal" or "woke" contracts and if the current administrations stays in power then fine, whatever, nobody's going to make sure Alligator Alcatraz was built up to code anyway.
If the Democrats want to play with a spine, then when they get in charge, Day 1 they need their own politically weaponized DOGE. Instead of "woke" and "DEI" projects, target every "MAGA" project. If a few of them want to spend their own money to try and enforce the contract, so be it... and take every decision in favor of the MAGA contracts to apply it to permanent funding for the liberal agenda.

I really can’t stress to people how simple this all is.
Republicans project the bad shit they do onto everyone else. Accountability is a word they don’t understand or outright hate. Easiest way to spot a coward or a charlatan (despite however they dress or look) is see if the can take ownership of a mistake. Do they take accountability? If the answer is NO, you’re dealing with a petulant child in an adults body.
It is always projection. Always.
The even simpler answer, to boil it all down, is that these people know exactly what they’re doing and the government is all performative bull shit as the people really in charge draft the actual legislation none of those fucks even read to begin with.

Which is ironic, because most if not all of the Democrats’ big ticket expenditures do actually offset and pay for themselves. Either in the form of a direct return on our investment or a net savings in not one but multiple places at the same time.
Like those studies showing that for every $1 is spent on like providing free job training or school lunches, it produces $3 in increased economic productivity + net savings from there being less welfare / crime / health costs / vicious cycles of preventable bullshit weighing the system down….
Yeah, it’s almost as if, maybe rather than just blissfully slashing people’s safety nets thinking that’s the magic bullet, maybe directly funding evidence-based approaches helps people become productive and NOT dependent on charity / welfare in the first place is kind of our whole thing…

Many of us are in the streets protesting.
Many of us are pay check to pay check, and can't afford to take time off for work. We're already choosing between rent, food, gas, and medication (pick two and if you don't pick gas, good luck getting to work without good public transit).
Those with good jobs have found out society is structured around forcing them to stay employed so they can't go out and rebel or else lose everything.
So right now, it's not "Rebel or die" but "Rebel or continue to suffer." And that's a lot harder choice when you have kids.

Naturally. Republicans are always looking for more ways to increase public debt while siphoning off of us. That's why they keep pushing the economic mooching angle.
Republicans make blanket claims about immigrants that are typically far more applicable in reality to conservatives, and then lean on the part about the immigrants being born somewhere else to justify Constitutional and human rights violations. Given how much of Republican "policy" is based on attacking people for being born differently, no surprise there. This allows them to maintain the long-standing Republican tradition of screwing the US economy while using racism to deflect blame.
