    hahahhahaha headed?? dude weve been heading that way for as long as ive been alive… the fact that we dont have universal health care and spend a trillion$ a year on a military despite being the biggest assholes on the planet is a giant fucking reminder that we literally are and have been for awhile now…

    the public is now managed via fox news, all your ‘representatives’ could not possibly care less about anything more than their own self interests (bought and paid for!)

    laws dont matter, rich people do not face any consequences for almost anything.

    where arent we a plutocracy?? that we still pretend our votes dont usher in more big business??

    USA was never a functioning democracy, but at least as much a plutocracy all along.
    What USA is headed for is fascism.

      Christofascism to be specific. It’s been subject to the Black Pope (the Jesuit Superior General) since 1798, but subject to the whims of the Pope (the White Pope) from 1776-1798.

          Fascism is the connection between government and public companies (and private ones, if contracted). Christofascism is a Catholic-based system that does what Fascism does, but in the name of Jesus Christ, of which is a complete falsehood, and Lucifarian at that.

    We’re certainly on track to full blown fascism, meeting the 14 indicators with flying colors.

    Although any discussion about this fact isn’t complete with some lead brained troglodytes running in and saying "WELL AKTUALLY, FASCISM IS ONLY WHUT MUSSOLINI DEFINED IT AS. IF IT ISNT EXACTLY WHAT HE DEFINED IT AS, ITS NOT FASCISM!"

        Its one of many dumbfuck lines fascists use to destroy language that accurately describes them.

        I’ve seen it particularly commonly used by Zionists defending Netanyahu and Trump

    We’ve been heading there ever since they put a cap on the number of Congress people. I’d say we’re well past heading though.
