    If America saw what America was doing to America, then America would invade America to liberate America.

    • People surrender enormous amounts of personal autonomy to their bosses, their landlords, and their political leadership

    • Bosses, landlords, and political leaders pool all their power under a Unitary Executive position with entirely unchecked authority

    • Chief executive abuses the office

    • New chief executive abuses the office

    • Even newer chief executive abuses the office

    • The latest chief executive abuses the office

    Some dummy with a sign “It’s not supposed to be like this!”

    God damn, read a fucking book. For every moment you’ve been alive it has been like this.

        Yes, the people are supposed to hold politicians accountable. This attitude of ‘I don’t want to have to pay attention to politics’ from liberals is fucking wild. This is exactly why they don’t know the Dems were supporting most of the same Trump policies, but quietly.

        Just go back to brunch.

    We had a pretty close call there. For a while, the president was pushing hard for a federal online censorship program that got caught lying as soon as it was formed, and also trying to get votes counted with no voter ID unlike every single other democratic country. The administration was also paying bail for protestors who burned down random businesses and pushing for prosecution of people who acted in self defense. Luckily we didn’t re-elect him and his handlers after that.

      Lmao current administration is actively talking about suspending habeus corpus while shipping Americans off to foreign concentration camps against direct court orders. But sure, voter ID laws are the devil. Y’all are truly the ideological equivalent of a dog scooting it’s shitty asshole across the carpet.

      The president also pardoned a bunch of domestic terrorists, screwed over our farmers, and undermined our energy security and trade domination, not to mention replacing every federal job he could with incompetent buffoons. I hate that old white guy.
