That's not the 10% I am talking about. The 10% in power you reference is actually maintaining a pretty good thing on a global comparison, although we've declined significantly in terms of taking care of the working and middle class in the last 20 years. But there is a peaceful path for improving upon it. Like AOC, the people that need it fixed can even join it.

IMO if we had as many people seek to be an AOC as have given up hope, we would have a much better thing in a short amount of time.

The 10% I am referencing is any faction that isn't aligned with the new order after we've pulled the old one apart. It's even easier to join, and the only thing that will prevent a constant churn of a new destructive 10% will be authoritarian terror.

Yeah. We are on the same page.

If 10% want to tear it down and destroy something, they will. That's all it takes, because the rest of us are so passive/tired.
