IMO our political system is grossly distorted to benefit the massively wealthy (individuals and nations) which doesn't include us. As organized labor the right does view us as communist. They don't generally like us. We have to protect ourselves. The Brothers K aren't spending all that money to promote anything except their personal interests. The ME carriers aren't trying to do the world a service with aviation any more than they did with $147 oil. I have only a few years left: career nearly over. The young folks especially need to choose the lesser of two weevils and defend themselves thru the PAC and emails, calls, and letters to their governmental reps. JMO OFG
