The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Looking for inspiration, I browsed through some old prototypes. Here's one that's absolutely exhausting to play.

When we're done with all of this, we should really get rid of:
- the two party system
- the presidency
- the US Senate
If we had a parlimentary, multi-party system, we could have elections in months to remove this clearly insane guy from office. Instead, we have to wait almost three years.

Schooled by Trump, Americans are learning to dislike their allies
Our polling shows that Americans’ and Europeans’ attitudes towards each other are changing quickly

Fascism places emotion over reason. Words become just tools to achieve the vision of the Leader. In our post-truth world, this takes the special form of the inversion of meaning: fascists call other people "fascists" and antisemites call other people "antisemites"

Musk and Trump got together today to illustrate all the meanings of "backfire."
Your wallet shrinks, your 401(k) tanks, but Trump's first thought is to help Elon.

relatedly, why is the entire political press completely uninterested in the verifiable fact that JD Vance has close relationships with online nazis?
Seems like why the meeting imploded was more like "Trump is senile and has lost all impulse control and JD Vance is pickled in online fash propaganda" www.semafor.com/article/02/2...
Why the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting imploded
It happened in part because the White House perceived a loss of focus on the reason they were even gathering.
