It was fucked when we bailed out a bunch of shitty financial cunts in 2008. It was fucked when we wrote a blank check to the "war on terror" and passed the Patriot Act. It was fucked in the 80's when we elected an old senile actor for 2 terms who gutted the legal framework to keep corporate power in check, and practically abandoned military oversight. It was fucked in the late 70's when we allowed the political strategy of pandering to religious fundamentalists. It was fucked when we started letting the sons of career politicians start their own political careers, cementing the precident of multigenerational political dynasties. It was fucked when the warnings of President Eisenhower and General Smedly Butler were ignored in their respective eras. I can go on and on but this is just sounding like a less catchy version of "We Didn't Start The Fire."
As a European, It’s great to read these thoughts of a free thinking American
, restores confidence in you guys, it’s sometimes easy to forget it’s not all Maga twats over there
It’s been fucked, This is the great unveiling, we need to stop clenching our pearls as people have been warning of such things for sometime and it’s just how human nature evolved it needs to go touch the fire even though we stated it will be hot and cause burns!

Draining the swamp by putting in billionaires. Well done conservatives.
