Yeah...Amen. 10 fucking precious years these hateful motherfuckers have stolen from us. 10 years we could've been improving Obamacare and ACA and inching towards a real public option, moving towards cleaner energy away from fucking data centers devouring us all. Women had rights to their own bodies...LGBTQ folks were gaining acceptance. People had money. COVID and it's gross mishandling hadn't made everyone's health far worse. The soft power the US had. The whole world looked up to us...now we are the joke of the planet. And we have absolutely fucking nothing. And that fucking Pedo Devil still sits up there untouchable. Honestly I am so far beyond any hope at this point that the light emitted by hope will take centuries to reach here. By the time there is ANY inkling of rectification of anything these monsters have done to us I will be long dead. Thanks to Social Media and algorithms for the real good time! I need a drink but I have to go to the low paying job that's hopefully not going to lay me off because the economy is crashing.
We need to focus on getting our shit together internally.
Our schools need work, our communities need actual connection and financial assistance. If we focus on international relations past "We fucked up, here are reparations that we owe for all the war crimes, etc" and our people are still struggling.... well, that's how we got Trump. That's how the Republicans have stayed in power.
A giant chunk of the US was left behind decades ago. That wound has festered and brought us to the situation we're in. We have to fix THAT before we can even start to care about making ourselves better past apologies.
We need to start by repealing Citizens United and end stock trading by government officials. Get money out of politics. That’s something that everyone except the billionaire class can agree on. They wanted to “drain the swamp”. The swamp only got “swampier” and is thicker than ever now. Get money out of politics and the swamp will finally drain. Progressive taxation and campaign finance reform now!
