A Morbid Thought

I usually try to keep politics, and political drawings, off my DA page. 
Politics is great for starting arguments, and I'm not fond of those.  But I really want to share this thought which popped into my head the other day.

For the record, I'm unaffiliated/independent of a party.  I suppose one can say that those of us who fall into this category can look at things from a more neutral perspective, or a unique perspective.
That, or perhaps it's just my strange way of looking at the world.

Anyway, here's what I thought:

"Gee, what's happening in America is similar to the standings of the people in the anime/manga 'No.6'."

Well, minus the parasitic wasps that kill their hosts when they hatch.

I don't know how many people who will see this here have actually seen that anime/manga, but it's similar.

In No.6, the city-state was divided up. There were the rulers and scientists, then the elite, then the middle class...and then the poor in West Block who were divided by a literal wall from the city.

The people who lived within the city (the elite and middle class) thought that they were living in a utopia and an ideal society; that though not everyone would live in harmony, the police quickly dealt with any disruptions and their Mayor (the ruler of the city-state) and his people (the government) would handle anything that did and change what needed to be changed.

People labeled as criminals were either taken to the Correctional Facility (imprisonment or death) or dumped into West Block like garbage (West Block being like slums).

That's like this; people in the red states (and even the blue states) who are on Trump's side think that Trump and his administration will handle everything needed (and that the government is perfect and will save them and let them live a good life).
They think that because they're allowed to live where they do (in terms of No.6, in the city), they are valued and won't be harmed.

WRONG

In No.6, the poor were left for dead...but the elite who lived within the city were injected with parasitic bee eggs without their knowing. The very people who thought their lives mattered were used in a giant science experiment they were unaware of due to blind faith.

Any unusual death caused by a hatching wasp (which kills the host) was covered up to continue the illusion of the utopia.

In short, the 1%, the top, the leaders of No.6 valued the "elite" and their lives just as much as they valued the poor...and the elite couldn't see that (until the climax when shit hit the fan and the parasitic wasps were hatching everywhere).

Minus the bees/wasps, it's the same here. People blindly follow because they think that this administration will lead them to prosperity; they think that their lives are held higher than others because they're "one of us"...when in fact, they're valued at the same level as the poor.

The elite in No.6 were used in a giant experiment which claimed lives, and the poor were thrown to the slums (and occasionally rounded up in "hunts" for nefarious purposes) where they could easily die due to living conditions and lack of good healthcare.

Dystopia...many people are looking at America like one now. No.6 is a dystopian manga/anime (originally a light novel), but is a good example of blind ignorance and elitism.

The majority of the 1% don't care about the lives of the 99%; it doesn't matter if the 99% are "elite" (Republican or live in a red state) or if they're "poor" (middle-class, literally poor, Democrat, or live in a blue state).

Trump has held rallies in red states he won in; but the truth is that he doesn't care about those people. We're living in a soon-to-be dictatorship dystopia...and I can't understand how so many people can still fail to see that...especially with the firing of the freaking FBI director recently.
