For 20+ years American presidents saw our middle class crumble as jobs moved overseas. “Free market capitalism” they said negotiating trade deals to send manufacturing to china and Mexico. Opioids took its place in the rust belt. They said it was inevitable.
We sent our kids off to wars without purpose. Fighting for the freedoms of the people of [insert country here] it was our patriotic duty.
And they returned to a broken VA and little opportunity. Many committed suicide. Several each day. Still.

They watched education crumble. From the best in the world to woke and stupid. Seriously I kids are the worst educated of all developed nations. No child left behind. Race to the top. Someone benefited. Not the kids. That’s the way DC works tho. It’s inevitable.
Stimulus bills. Shovel ready jobs. Green jobs. Crumble roads and bridges. Trillions spent. Many got rich. But not middle America. Where’d the money go? It’s called the “Believe in America Patriotism and for the Children Act”. 3500 pages no one read. That’s the system.
Then Covid hit and the newfound powers of the ruling class gave them unfettered powers. You can’t go to church. You can’t bury your grandparents. Wear masks. Don’t question or else. Science.
But they didn’t follow the rules. They don’t have to. That’s how the system works.

So why am I saying all this? 20+ years of a broken government enriching a select class and not only not helping but almost punishing middle America?
Because thousands of Americans abandoned in #Afghanistan is the logical conclusion. It’s inevitable. It’s how the system works.

Show me any program, any bill, and solution proposed by 20+ years of US government that worked. Show me any effort of the bipartisan establishment that has bettered life in middle America. Or even just left them alone. Show me just one.
There was a brief period where wages went up and government regulation went down and jobs were plentiful and manufacturing returned and nameless bureaucrats were silenced. America was first.
But he said mean things and the bipartisan establishment had to get rid of him.

Abandoning Americans in Afghanistan is tragic yet wholly unsurprisingly.
American presidents since Reagan have long abandoned nameless faceless powerless Americans. Abandoned them to closed factories and chinese fentynol. Lousy schools and dangerous cities.

American presidents since Reagan abandoned American energy. American manufacturing. American farmers.
Just not Wall Street. Not even the democrats abandoned Wall Street. They just talk tougher.
Afghanistan is just a new front where American government showed its true face.

There are many- many- who want to pick up where that one President left off. And America first president.
And the bipartisan establishment is ready to crush them, too. Lot at stake. Money. Power. Privilege. They’re not going to be usurped again.
