How do you know my perception of politics? Have i put some pronouns somewhere in my bio?
> left/right distinction you see, as meaningless as sport
> managing the mindless through "choice" and participation
I dont really know where to start to tackle this mess. To me, it appears to be a wild mix of delusion and cluelesness ... so, what to adress first.
Lets start with the basics. A left leaning ideology revolves around wealth distribution and not some identity politics (IP) of LGBTQ-whatev. The IP part on both sides is what you rightfully call political theater, but again, only caring about some minority does not make one a leftist. Reducing the left to only that is dumb but necessary for the right. This IP label is the propaganda vehicle used to distract from very important, system shaking, actual political issues. Gullible people get caught by emotions to hook them on simple answers. Like the "degenerates" teaching kids or "gangs" migrating to the US. Its always the same fascistic playbook, construct a dislikable enemy -- bc disgust is a strong emotion and source of bias to blur your reasoning, exclude all contradicting complexities -- like migrants being statistically less criminal, agitate the masses based on that and then take out any (reasonable) opposition by crying around that you are the actual victim here, to obscure your retaliation. Does this sound like trump to you?
When soft power (propaganda) fails, you can turn to any history book how much uncle sam disagrees with you about the "meaningless left", because leftist wealth distribution challenges power structures beyond the political stage, where the players reside, that had been corrupting US politics for longer then the US fucked up latin america. You can see it in real time today, how the democrats turn on NY mayor candidate Mamdani because of his "communist" NY rent freeze. Calling such leftist central, decades old, factual and non-IP ambition meaningless is a strong indicator of political cluelessness and i bet, the right will use some form of force to stop the islamo-communist (please tell me you got the IP-labeling here). Trump already talked about cooperating with democrats and even deporting Mamdani but i think that openly fascistic demasking is reserved for the trump 2028 campaign.
Besides actual political ideals beyond IP, there is also the existing power structures, you called cabal, that you didnt get.
> the same left/right leaders were perfectly fine with uniting in their opposition to Trump
How many right wingers turned on trump exactly? If id compare them side by side, i think there are more conservatives that called trump hitler/alike but boot licked their way back into the cabal later (vance, RFK!) then there are conservatives that turned on trump today. This indicator of opportunistic politicians is also a good sign for political shallowness, aka political theater performed by well paid actors.
The power structure you somehow missed is where the F that money comes from, that corrupts politics and is needed to keep the gullible pondering about their forced uppon pronouns (also IP, just in case you missed that too).
The very first thing trump did in both terms where tax cuts esp. for the wealthy, which is a strong signal for the parasites to throw more monet at him but a big nono from a leftist position bc the system favored the rich and sucked on the working class for even longer than US politics got corrupted by big capital and even longer then the US fucked up latin america. The results of all that societal development is a shrinking and increasingly desperate middle class and billionares buying big media to cure the "woke mind virus". For these dipshits, thats the biggest concern while ordinary people cannot live off of two jobs, let alone support a family.
And here you are, calling the left meaningless bc you cant think outside of / see through the IP.
> I could not care less what peasants vote on
is a very fitting intro to conclude your bullshit ... until you realize that working peasants are the ones keeping us all afloat.
Maybe the reason you turn away from the right too is, that you developed a tolerance for the current, digust driven out-group the tribalistic right also revolves around -- you had been disappointed by shallow right leaning politics too often. But dont worry, theyll push out an update eventually and it all begins anew, bc you might be turned off by the right atm, but you are propably turned away even further from anything meaningful.
