Nearly half the population, concentrated in urban centers, is either part of a secular cult or in thrall to it. Entitlement is a major part of the cult, and they have been used to getting their way for a very long time, financed by infinite government debt. It has to change, one way or another, as reality sets in, and they're not going to like it.
So no, it's not going to get better. At best, there is a short-term lull (maybe) if they get exactly what they want in the election, like a withdrawing heroine addict finally getting a dose. But it only makes the problem worse -- the addiction is reinforced, and the eventual conflict with reality becomes more inevitable and intense.
I'm 100% on board with your thoughts on entitlement.
Gotta hard disagree on the secular thing. Theocratic government is even worse. Ask the catholic church if you want to know more. Lol, everyone forgets the vatican is an independent state because mussolini made it that way.
"Secular cult" just differentiates it from being a "religious cult." It's not that a secular worldview makes you a member of the cult, any more than a religious worldview makes you a member of a religious cult. The DNCult is a toxic blend of Critical Race Theory and Marxism.
I mean, when has a centrally-planed command-and-control economy with big promises of social services, combined with hyper-racial grievance politics ever gone wrong before?
