The Trump administration is a result of giving more power to a rich man or woman than to a poor man or woman. I don’t see how this fate could have been prevented by one more Democrats legislature leading to now. It’s a systemic failure and if you are not willing to change the power axis in society you are bound for all of this.

    Yes. We (the US) have a two-party system with both parties racing to who can kiss rich people’s’ assholes quicker and deeper. The parties aren’t opposites, they just differ on rimming techniques.

    We Americans already know there’s a problem. You are so late to the party in bringing this up.

    The Democrats weren’t/aren’t a means of prevention; they were/are the least-bad, weakest opponent we could have been fighting. Instead, people chose the stronger, better-funded, more strategic, more ideologically driven option, and now we’re watching in horror as every institution that kept us limping along crumbles.

    Continuing to vote for either party would have led to the same outcome eventually, but Democrats would have at least bought us more time to act.

    It’s a systemic failure and if you are not willing to change the power axis in society you are bound for all of this.

    Great, how do you propose we do that?

      They’re destroying themselves. Store money/value in a form that isn’t fiat (metal, guns, ammo, art, crypto). They are very close to the collapse of the US dollar. Their ponzi can’t sustain the debt payments anymore, and nearly all other mechanisms to prolong it have been exploited. Its hyperinflation will bring down nearly all other economies as well.

      The music is going to stop soon and it’ll be dark times. Just be prepared
