Betty Sue makes $286,000 per month on Etsy. She started with nothing, and now she’s filthy rich.

        It’s pretty common that angry revolutionaries are used by another rich bastard to get into power by usurping the movement. The classic “meet the new boss, same as the old boss.”

          Not sure. I mean, yeah, the racist fascist narcissistic dementic monster doesn’t looks like the ideal candidate in a democracy, but if your intention is to fuck the system that fucked you, while giving you a feeling of superiority, it looks like a perfect match. For too long, the difference between the Democrats and Republicans was cosmetic at best, some are pragmatic but some just want to fuck the system.
