    That’s the thing. We never could have had him. The establishment needs people like Trump or Biden in office.

      Oh absolutely. Instead of fighting the establishment, political discourse has devolved into “Oh you don’t like Person A? Then you must be a FASCIST who is licking Person B’s boots!”

        “Oh if you don’t vote Person A, that means Person B will win and they’ll take away our rights”

        Keep in mind Person A is marching slowly to fascism, Person B is sprinting to it, Person C is actively moving away from it but no one wants to vote for them because they must vote for Person A or Person B will win”

          And keep in mind that as long as everybody thinks that way, nothing will ever get fixed in this country. Both Team Red and Team Blue know what’s up. They know people will defend their side and demonize the other, while they’re all taking care of the billionaires and laughing all the way to the bank.

          The lesser of two evils is still evil.
