    He’s going through a narcissistic collapse and he’s got frontotemporal dementia so that’s why he’s blurting shit out more frequently and lashing out.

    Trump is sinking and taking the Republican Party with him but Republicans are such cowards that none of them have the balls to tell him to his face that his idea sucks. At this point their best bet is that Trump croaks before November and they can shift messaging to still salvage the midterms somehow.

      New Jim Crow has prevented people from voting for a long time. Ask any of the people now barred from voting because they smoked a plant that’s now legal and making the wealthy class a lot of money.

      The American myth of democracy is a strong one, but it needs to die. Even aside from the new jim crow (which Michelle Alexander lays out much more coherently than I did above in her book), half the population doesn’t vote and we are only given two choices which the half that do vote openly calls their own party evil, as in lessor of two evils, evil.

      Dont even get me started on our campaigns to “spread democracy” across the world.

      We havent had democracy in a long time, if ever. Its always been the rich vs the rest of us. Its time to wake up.
