    Hey, you’re cool with foreign governments owning our politicians in the highest parts of our government.

    I’m not.

    Everyone has their own personal line that they can’t rationalize past. Ive hit mine.

    I hope shit gets better before you cross yours. It sucks.

        Says the person who’s life isn’t effected by a foreign government owning our highest elected politicians…

        I guarantee my life is more effected by who is president than most people on Lemmy.

        And not just for the next four years. If shit gets bad before it gets better, whether that’s good or bad is just about timescale. And only thinking one election ahead hasn’t been working out.

        There’s no reason to think it’ll suddenly start happening.

            No, no, once things are North Korea level bad, the people will totally rise up. That’s what stops people from rising up - they aren’t oppressed enough. If we give enough power to the fascists, it’ll DEFINITELY work out this time! “After Hitler, us!”
