American politics has been a giant circular firing squad since the Rush Limbaugh days, and we’re sick of it. We’re sick of nothing getting done. We’re sick of the fighting and the mudslinging and the name calling. There hasn’t been an amendment passed since 1973. The highest court in the land is corrupt as hell. One “news” network thinks it’s entitled to control all three branches of government.

There are less than 100 billionaires in the United States, and they control all the wealth. 2 men have more wealth than the combined GDP of entire continents. And, the greedy assholes just want more. There’s a playbook for a literal fascist empire complete with concentration camps, state run TV, and a literal dictatorship. It seems like we’re going backwards. Something’s got to break this cycle. Rush Limbaugh is dead. It’s time for Limbaughism to die with him.
