What we're learning here, is that nothing in America is going to happen if the billionaire class doesn't want it to.

Absent a French-style violent revolution, voters don't seem to control the institutions that are needed to bring about change.

I suppose that it matters, how well-connected you are, and to whom, when you are actually charged with this crime.
It doesn't happen in Georgia.

We're in a deep Appalachian maga district. We have tables set up at Walmart for donations to the many SNAP recipients that live here; maybe they will stay home(?). It would take a miracle.

The president had a MRI but won't say why.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.

How is any of this ok?

Of course, this belt tightening is happening *after* he rebated $500 in taxes to Georgians. That's $500 in money from California and New York.

Then, after knee-capping social services, our Republicans will start with the old trope of government not doing anything right.

If you ask the people that say government can't do anything right, they seem to make an exception of taking/denying the life of a human being.

Since the last presidential election, I can't really relate to my (former) friends that identified as Republicans.

I thought we had different politics, but the same morals; that was never true.

* Lack of empathy, critical thinking, or self reflection.
* The false equivalence of "both sides"
