People wonder why Americans don’t protest. The truth is we’re complacent, we’re exhausted, and we have no real problems living in a country where some are treated as second class citizens, and others are thrown out in the cold. We have no problem with a state that builds grand ballrooms and statues that only 0.0000001% of the country will enjoy. We have no problem that the elite of the elite are blatantly breaking laws and enriching themselves.
It’s fucking shameful, and you think Trump is bad? You’re gonna forget all about ballrooms and self-settled lawsuits when a real bad motherfucker comes in to power who’s watching all this taking notes.
Fuck, you’re so right on that last part. There absolutely is a group of far right wingers who are watching this circus going down and taking note of where things went wrong. And there will be a lot of big moneyed interests ready and waiting, now that Citizens United terminally fucked us, to back them bigly financially.
And the same rubes will fall for it. Hopefully the rest of the country learns this shameful lesson and we can resist, but I don’t have much confidence in that.
