    What’s depressing is if literally any of our institutions acted how they were supposed to, this wouldn’t be an issue.

    The 4th estate is failing the country because they’ve been bought by oligarchs.

    The judicial apparatus is failing because it’s been bought by oligarchs.

    The political apparatus is failing because it’s been bought by oligarchs.

    Man I wish we could put our finger on the reason why everything is coming down around us…

      It’s awesome how we can trace so much evil back to Southern Strategy and Reaganomics.

        It’s very frustrating, yeah. All the progress this country was making was thwarted by a bunch of butt-hurt southerners and racists.

        Hell, you can take it further back to the failure of Reconstruction and the resulting propaganda wave creating a massive reactionary base.
