It all needs to be burned down. This isn’t a uniquely American issue, as the cracks are becoming impossible to ignore across the entire western world, but the right wing here and abroad are the only ones advocating the the dissolution of our broken systems. The problem is that they want to build everything back up to benefit exclusively the wealthiest in society, while the liberal centerists who are the main opposition want to continue to slap bandaids on what is clearly a lost cause. The far right will continue to gain ground and pulverize everything in their path if the mainstream “left” (Democrats/Labour/Liberal/Rennasisance/SDP/Civic Platform etc) continues to operate as is. Radical change is coming, but the liberal parties are too busy trying to ensure that change doesn’t come from the left.

America is probably the most difficult to change since the Democrats have lost just about all credibility nationwide, but France is a perfect example of what i am trying to explain. Macron’s centrist Rennasisance party has clearly lost public support, since every prime minister he appoints gets bullied out of power by both the leftist alliance and National Rally. He has to chose one to make concessions to, but refuses to enter talks with the Left Block, and any agreement with National Rally would put Len Pen in charge. Until these centrist parties start to actually address the issues their citizens are facing, said citizens will continue to flock to parties that are promoting radical change, regardless of what that change entails.
