From Liberal to Realist: My Political Awakening and Obama's Role
Hello, Earnest Mann here! In this episode, I'm sharing my journey from being a staunch liberal to a more critical political thinker. It all started with Barack Obama, a man who inadvertently changed my views forever. I'm not here to preach about seeing the light or converting to conservative ideals, but rather to discuss the profound impact Obama's presidency had on me.
The Disillusionment with Obama's Presidency
I was disheartened by Obama's presidency because he did very little that was good and a lot that was bad. His second term earned him the nickname "Uncle Tom" in my book due to his corporate and military-industrial complex allegiances. Under his administration, more bombs and military equipment were produced than ever before, surpassing even Ronald Reagan.
The Real Issue: Corporate Control of Politics
The major political parties in the US, whether Democrat or Republican, serve corporate interests over those of the average American. This game of partisan politics is designed to distract and divide us. Meanwhile, our infrastructure crumbles, healthcare costs soar, and homeownership becomes unattainable for many young Americans.
A Call to Action
It's time to wake up and recognize that these partisan battles are a distraction. Let's focus on real issues and demand accountability from those in power. Only then can we hope to serve some real justice to the oligarchs controlling us.
