To sum it up: the Electoral College must die. I've NEVER, EVER seen it as fair or necessary.

Oh America, America....ya gave Hitler many ideas on how to incarcerate, exploit and exterminate peoples. And if the assholes on Wall St. hadn't cratered the economy causing the Depression Germany would have survived & Hitler never elected. Do NOT make the same mistake again.

How do you find the time and energy to do all this?!!! It's spot-on, by the way. Impressive work that fits perfectly with those of us who are not at all taken with Trump & his ilk. Down with tyrants! Down with oligarchy! Down with facism! Down with Trump! Power to We the People!!!

Your analysis of course is 100% spot on. I keep trying to tell my MAGA and other friends this stuff and they get mad at me because I’m going against their long tightly held bullshit world view. Also… and maybe you address this somewhere… our educational system is designed to keep us stupid and uninformed, focusing on bullshit. Example… high school trigonometry… who gives a fuck how sin is derived? How about a class in how insurance exclusions fuck us over?

This was a phenomenal piece! It explains so much, not just about history, but about now. I haven’t read the other parts of the story, but I will go back and read them now. This is something everyone should be aware of and really put it into perspective. We need to refocus and pull together!!

- Conservatives are forcing gutting the federal government on all citizens

- Conservatives are forcing a Everyman for himself mentality on American culture

- Christian fanatics are forcing religion on all Americans

- White supremisists are forcing their racist prejudice on American society

- Super-wealthy are forcing a rich vs poor divide on America

- Gun fanatics are forcing gun culture, violence & chaos onto all Americans

- Anti-abortionist are forcing their beliefs on every American

- The fanatics are being successful in destroying American society & creating a new MAGA Nazi fascist dystopian Amerikkka

- The new MAGA Nazi fascist dystopian Amerikkka will be another evil empire that 1st world countries will avoid

- America will lose dominance & exceptionalism … and will become a decaying empire of citizens that hate & loathe each other

Pretty soon we'll be a one-party state, so elections don't matter anyway.

Not if we can figure out how to organize and take down the 10%. We need to stop thinking this is a Democrat vs Republican issue, that’s how they keep us divided.

I think – hope – it's the 1% we're after! But they have all the resources!

True! But what happens if the Democratic party disappears? And what about all those Independents out there who don't get to vote?

Saying that America is a free country is patently false. Everything has a price.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!! Talking about the non-existent 3rd term is a waste of energy!! Trump is a Domestic Terrorist TRAITOR who's in office because Democrats did not demand a recount and audit the voting ballots when Musk rigged the votes in all the swing states!!! Dems need to fight the TERRORIST and his entire unfit unqualified Treasonous administration

Disgusting but valid. Fuck all the people who couldn’t be bothered to get off their asses and vote in 2024 (And all the people who said we were “overreacting” in 2016!!!). 😵‍💫🤬

You shared: In order to understand the brutality of American capitalism, you have to start on the plantation. We can go back further and write, In order to understand the brutality of American capitalism, which was centered in the North, you have to understand the slave trade.
