The Impact of the 60s Social Revolution and the Potential Consequences

The social revolution of the 60s resulted in a balance of power where control of resources remained with the owners while social progress was handed over to liberals. However, nowadays social messages have become alienating to the right instead of the left. If enough of these people get elected to Congress, they may cause a default during a debt ceiling crisis. The institutional Republican Party has ways to prevent this, as seen with Marjorie Taylor Greene. The true believers would need to outnumber the opportunists to make an impact. People often become opportunists in power because they realize that the distance to their desired outcome is greater than they thought. Our personal comfort affects our understanding and action towards the crisis. While a technological savior may emerge, it may not align with their vision and could be unrecognizable and monstrous.
