    I wish I could say I was surprised. I feel like the brakes are off the fascism train these days. Hopefully I’m wrong.

      I’ve come to the same conclusion. I’ve been wrapped up in political bullshit for years but trying to pull myself out because in all that time, no matter who wins, shit gets worse. The system does what the system will do and right now it seems determined to self immolate.

        This is what is meant by “late stage capitalism”

        The problem in the system is profit motive. The US has never been a nation of people, it’s a business platform with a bottom line.

          Ha, my previous comment was about late stage capitalism. Great minds think alike, huh?
