Re: the meme here, there are a couple of caveats:
• Yes, but billionaires pay their employees slave wages, forcing them to have 2 – 3 jobs, sometimes meaning that they are on food stamps and living in their cars.
• Yes, but people, often war veterans, can’t afford health insurance and die agonizing deaths from treatable diseases.
• Yes, but white supremacy dominates huge swaths of the United States.
• Yes, but teachers are paid so poorly that they’re leaving their professions, and our population is becoming more ignorant every year.
• Yes, but our planet is baking because the billionaires in the fossil fuel industry couldn’t care less about the wellbeing of anyone but themselves.
• Yes, but the wars caused by greed and nationalism are killing our children.
Outside of this, capitalism is wonderful.

I have bad news for the young (32 years junior to her husband) ex-press secretary shown here (bad pic btw):
You’ve run out of people who a) are stupid enough to believe any of this, and b) even if they did believe it, many would not vote to keep Republicans in office after having enabled Trump to rape our nation.
As bad as our economy is, Democrats will make it worse?
Again, even the idiots are losing their patience with this garbage.
Truck drivers are spending large amounts of their own money to drive into traffic-ridden Washington D.C., flying American flags, the banner that has been usurped by the MAGA right, to protest Trump’s nonsensical war in Iran that has pushed diesel prices through the roof.
Hmmm. I’m suspicious.
At left we see yet one more reminder of the disaster taking place in the United States.
Our Founding Fathers made huge sacrifices for us, and we’ve seen fit to elect an insane dictator to run roughshod over our beloved Constitution.
We hear that democracies do not descend into authoritarian regimes overnight. That’s true, but what’s happened here has been quite rapid indeed.
