Because fascism.

I'm sure there's a quid pro quo.

We get shitty choices because our political system allows for institutional bribery.

Our choices will forever be limited until bribery is removed for the system.

Those at the top know what they're doing.

They know this is the mother of all grifts.

It's almost as if American capitalism should add some rules.

15 could ultimately end up giving Biden the presidency, because it likely ended up killing more conservative voters.

And they won't apologize for their behavior, but will certainly bark back that you're an elitist.

At their core, many are just bullies and it nicely appeals to the emotionally stunted desires of their base.

I recently watched a Nazi documentary on Netflix, and the parallels beyond concerning. If Trump is elected, you should expect Brown Shirt like violence.

For those who think my statement is alarmist, it takes time for fascist propaganda to build inertia, and we're somewhere in the middle of the progression. If you're paying attention, you can see and hear the rhetoric getting more violent. They are following a similar playbook to the Nazis by stimulating the rural communities with more and more nationalist rhetoric.

Just add judges. Done.

You're projecting logical thinking. Stop.

The Republicans need wedge issues for culture wars. It's a numbers game and that's all they care about.

Projecting logic and critical thinking on a party that's moving towards fascism is a fool's errand.

I had the exact same experience.

The wholly predictable outcome of poorly regulating capitalism.

"The market will create competition and the best products." No. The market will seek the optimal method to make the most money, and if that optimal method includes killing people, that will be the method selected.

Start putting people in jail and taking businesses into receivership for bad behavior, and then the optional method for maximizing profit will also result in better products.
