    Trudeau speaks the truth. Our government did this to us. The billionaires who preferred this administration and sat as the feudal lords at the swearing-in did this to us. The corporations who backed Trump who see his admin as a tax shelter, who would lobby to favor employers over employees did this to us. The corporate and social media who see themselves as arbitors and gatekeepers of “free speech,” who choose to see objectivity through bipolar both-sides mania instead of an ethical lens did this to us. The system pits us against each other to bicker, fight, and mame for every scrap that falls off their table instead of focusing our rage collectively against those seated there. They did this to us.

    The whole damn system is guilty as hell.

      31%. I’d argue the other 69% aren’t, and are largely just confused and checked out.

    It’s the maga cult that forced this on us.

    Does it not feel like ‘checks and balances’ doesn’t actually work, and hasn’t been working?

    I feel like the billionaire class, controlling through propaganda, a large loud minority of unintelligent, low educated bigots, resulting in what we’re seeing. Essentially the destruction of what was an amazing country.

    The imbeciles who voted for this are too stupid to understand the consequences. The bigots and racists are just voting their bigotry.

    We need better checks and balances. I don’t know what that is though.
