USA reminds me China so much. Just instead of one party having complete monopoly on power with same politicians there being since forewer, there two parties having complete monopoly on power with same politicians there being since forever.

IMO - and I would like to hear from other "Olds" - this is the worse it's ever been.

Even during Watergate, the GOP could admit that Nixon had done wrong. Now politics are so tribal, even among voters.

For instance, until I disabuse them about trans demands, most of my Progressive friends were on board with trans demands. Why? Because it's on the Progressive platform and, since they don't have time to examine every issue, they just mouth what the Democratic platform says, assuming that the Democrats are on the "right" side. My friends do that with every issue, and these are smart people, but they are just not bothering to think.

Trans demands don't stand up to scrutiny and they know this, which is why they Trojan Horsed the LGB, getting to Progressive politicians under the guise of LGB inclusion. In the meantime, most of the Democratic politicians young staff were indoctrinated in Gender Studies at university, so were already on the any criticism of trans demands is a crime akin to racism.

Many of us older feminists were asleep, while the trans lobby completely took over control of the narrative. The trans lobby was counting on that, and one of the reasons for "Karen" and "TERF bangs" is because they are terrified of older feminists waking up.

Well, I am not from the USA, it is just looks like that to me from the outsider perspective (after USSR dissapeared, as in USSR we almost had no info about USA or China at all).

At first I wanted to resent - how is that possible in developed country to study so frank lies in universities, but then I recalled that for few years now in our country libfems and right-wings are united to put "Classic Church Family Values" subject to study in 10-11th grades of school (and that subject is very homophobic as well, promoting "classic family" where woman is not even having a job, just housewife). Many mothers revoletd and subject was halted temporary (but not everywhere) until checked by goverment. And because of those people (and one other libfem in goverment, who want to change whole language to make all words be female gendered) in eyes of most people here, feminism is seen as something hateful or stupid.
