The 7 Types of People In The Collapsing USA's Politics

The problem is that all seven are bad.

At the end of 2024 when Trump won over Kamala Harris, I stated in a blog article that 2024 was the year that the left-right paradigm in the United States died.

I stand by that analysis. What I mean by that is the reasons people vote for president now have literally nothing now to do with left or right. Instead, at least in 2024, the entire voting criteria was not left or right, but whether or not you liked or disliked Donald Trump.

Anti-Trumpers told people not to vote for Trump because he was pro-abortion, when in fact, Trump is and always has been vehemently pro-abortion.

So they had to make up a story about Trump being anti-abortion, not because they’re left or right, but because they hated Trump

On the other side, Kamala Harris clearly said many times that she was pro-fracking, pro-Israel, and would not raise taxes on rich people, yet right-wingers in America had to make up some kind of story about how she was some kind of extreme left-wing, communist, anti-capitalist.

So America has fractured into a pro-Trump camp and an anti-Trump camp, neither of which really aligns with what we traditionally think of as left and right.

This is all well and good, but as I keep reminding Trump supporters, Donald Trump is going to be gone in two years (or less!) Which means this will shift yet again.

So now, and over the long term, America’s political base has fractured into seven categories. Unfortunately, all seven of these categories are insane lovers of big government, and all of them will accelerate the disintegration of the Collapsing USA.

Here are these seven sad categories, listed in no particular order:

1. Woke People

These are psychopaths who believe in things like 47 genders, all/most white people are racists, all/most men are rapists, there is no such thing as biological gender, 15-year-old girls should be turned into boys without their parents’ permission, and so on.

They are also communists who hate capitalism and think it should be abolished.

They hate free speech and want authoritarian government policing everything everyone says, so nothing hateful, disturbing, “problematic” or upsetting can ever be spoken by anyone.

They will even quickly cancel and disavow people on their own side if they say one little thing wrong.

Like the tradcon right, they are largely anti-sex, especially when it comes to heterosexuals (whom they call “cisgendered”). They think men and women doing simple things like having sex in real life or kissing in movies is evil, inappropriate, or downright abusive.

They are not able to debate, instead choosing to call people names and then block them.

Like I said, these people are psychopaths. Whenever I realize I’m speaking to a woke person, either in real life or online, I just politely end the conversation and leave.

2. Progressives

These are essentially the American version of Western Europeans, i.e. “woke lite.”

These are hardline left-wingers who are about two or three notches closer to sanity than woke people

Instead of full-on communism, they reluctantly agree that while capitalism shouldn’t be abolished completely, it should be “improved” by massive, sweeping government welfare programs. They want the government to pay for everyone’s health care, child care, university education, massive amounts of time off from work, and all kinds of other day-to-day items.

They are strongly for labor unions in every company and massive government regulations regarding things like the environment.

Whenever you point out that these programs are pretty much guaranteed to bankrupt your country eventually (fact), they get irritated and change the subject. Like woke people, they tend to not debate and instead immediately jump to name-calling, blocking, and/or cancelling.

Progressives used to be pro-sex and culturally left, but over the past 20 years, they have moved slowly toward the woke side of the spectrum on this (though they still aren’t as bad as woke people).

3. Neoliberals

This is currently the most powerful, common, and popular of these seven categories in the Collapsing USA (though not by much).

Neoliberals are what most Americans consider “normal” left-wingers. They represent the mainline of the corporatist, pro-war, pro-Israel left like Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Maher.

They are heavily pro-capitalist, pro-big corporations, pro-welfare (but only to a point), and pro-big government.

They are technically left socially, but barely. They give social left-wing views (like gay marriage or abortion) lip service, but they don’t really care much for these issues.

They are 100% allied with the neocons (who I describe below) and think America should police the entire world and that the American Empire should constantly be expanded and enforced, even if millions of innocents die.

The majority (or perhaps plurality) of rank-and-file, non-political Americans in the Collapsing USA in 2026 fall into this category. In other words, definitely left wingish socially and economically, definitely likes big government, definitely likes “free” stuff from the government, but not anywhere near communist or even hardcore socialist.

“Normal” neoliberal Americans like this mean well but are ignorant and deluded. Neoliberals in the elite are truly evil.

4. Trump Supporters

These are hopelessly irrational idiots who believe anything Donald Trump promises them and then quickly ignore and bypass events any time Trump screws them and does the opposite.

These are people who actually thought Trump was going to build a wall, bring back the manufacturing jobs, kick out all of the Mexicans, and throw Hillary in jail back in 2016.

In 2024, these are the people who actually thought he would not start any new wars, allow Elon Musk to shrink the government, and that he would release all of the Epstein files.

Their political opinions are… well, other than their hatred of woke people, Trump supporters don’t actually have any solid political opinions. Instead, their political opinions just follow whatever Trump is currently doing.

They’re for reducing the size of government, but if Trump increases the government by trillions of dollars (which he does regularly), they think that’s great.

They are pro-gun, but when one of Trump’s ICE agents kills a guy because he may have had a gun, they’re suddenly anti-gun.

They’re anti-new wars, but when Trump bombs Iran or Venezuela, they suddenly think it’s badass.

When you point out this insanity, they fall back to their favorite mantra: “Hillary/Kamala would have been worse.”

Just like woke people, as soon as I discover I’m talking to a Trump supporter, I just quickly and politely end the conversation and move on. It’s a waste of time talking to an insane person.

5. Neocons

These are Republican elites who are a slightly different flavor of neoliberal.

Like the neoliberals, they are hardcore corportists. They are pro-big government, pro-big banks, and pro-big corporations.

They believe that almost the entire planet Earth is evil except for the United States, and their entire goal is to conquer, control, invade, and/or manipulate as many other countries as they possibly can so they can enrich themselves and their corporate and banking cronies… while the US taxpayer pays for it all and dies in their wars.

They are staunchly pro-Israel and pro-Ukraine and gleefully send trillions of dollars of taxpayer money to these two highly corrupt and evil governments.

They have the power to commit this evil because they are unwittingly and regularly supported by Trump supporters and tradcons.

If you oppose anything the neocons say, they scream at you and call you anti-American, an effective technique they developed during the Iraq war.

6. Groypers

These are delusional, fascist authoritarians who fantasize about an America that is similar to Nazi Germany or the U.S.S.R. They are for massive government, massive military, massive corporate welfare, and massive subsidies to various groups of people.

They tend to be American men under the age of 35 who live miserable lives and use politics as a mechanism to channel their anger and disillusionment. They also tend to be racist and don’t view racism as a bad thing.

These are the kind of people who, fifteen years from now, are going to look back and be very embarrassed about the things they are now saying online. They’re the political version of the tramp stamp.

Just like I do with other insane people, I don’t really engage with groypers, other than to make fun of them, which is pretty easy (and fun).

7. Tradcons

These are constantly angry, hard-core right-wing Christians, comprising approximately 30% of the Republican base in the Collapsing USA.

Their entire focus is on social issues where they are hard right, something right out of the 1950s, and anything that doesn’t fit into that narrow category pisses them off.

Openly gay people, transgender people, women shaving the sides of their head, women with tattoos or nose rings, OnlyFans girls, rappers singing about sex; if they see anything like this, they fly into a rage and are furious and horrified that Americans have the freedom to do these kinds of things.

They fantasize about destroying democracy and representative republicanism and replacing the American government with a quasi-authoritarian Christian theocracy that runs everyone’s personal life.

Unlike with woke people or Trump supporters, I can actually speak to tradcon… for about five minutes - before they start getting angry when I quote facts about things like biology. Then I move on.

The Problem

The problem, as you can now clearly see, is that all seven of these categories of people are for massive government, which is the opposite of what you want in a collapsing empire that is dying specifically because the government spends too much money.

All seven of these types of people are accelerating American collapse. All seven.

Crazy, isn’t it?

I wonder if this is what late-stage Rome felt like.

You might be wondering why I didn’t add people like liberatrains to this list. That’s because real libertarians are only a teeny tiny fraction of one percent of the United States these days.

(Most people who say they’re libertarians are just secret Trump supporters embarrassed to admit it publicly.)

There are other political ideologies in the United States outside of the above seven, but they’re so tiny, fringe, and powerless that they’re not really worth bringing up.

Therefore, your options are at this point to either:

1. Join one of the seven categories (God help you) or stubbornly remain in one of these categories if you’re in there already (heh, good luck!).

2. Make plans to leave the United States at some point in the near future, where these people either don’t exist or only exist in very small numbers.

I chose option two a long time ago which is why I live such a happy and fulfilled life.

Let’s see which option you will choose…
