Actual good news! Even if some see fairness as a threat, and are now working on absurd "corrective" measures.

Our system was so flawed to have allowed these monsters anywhere near the power to do these things. And now even the safeguards of that flawed system are being shattered. We can't stay here, but we can't—and shouldn't—go back, either.

Plot twist: Trump & Obama become best buds. They squabble over golf, but come together in spreading peace & prosperity to all—both in the U.S. & abroad. MAGA's so pleased with its share it loses interest in "owning the libs," and the tech broligarchy gains the humanity of shedding obscene wealth.
