    That’s what happens when the country is being turned into a fascist state and people being sent to camps, while the majority of them are mumbling about midterms and trying not to rock the boat.

    At this point they are complicit in the downfall of America. Although I’m sure they’ll be happy when they retire somewhere else in the world with a big bank account.

      US fealty to other countries over American interests every time. Israel, China, EU states, it doesn’t matter. If it’s good for the corporate hegemon - and because money is speech now - you get a predictable result. We’re living through corporate oligarchy. One of the biggest corporations (by value) in the history of the world has its CEO siting in the Whitehouse directing our government functions. He’s in charge of firing federal employees. It’s clear as day, corporations run our government. Not reven a recent phenomena - lobbyist have been doing it forever with increasing success since Regan / 80s era. We’re fucked, it’s all downhill from here. The fall of the American empire is probably closer than we all think.

      The Democrats are part of that machine. With few exceptions they are willing participants in the process.
