'When the American empire finally collapses, historians won't be stunned by the greed of the elite; they'll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor. The working class didn't just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them. They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions. Not because it helped them. But because they were told it would hurt someone else. And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without even breaking a single law.'

My words: The first thing I thought when my daughter sent me this was, shame on us. The second thing I thought was, not on my goddamn watch. No way. No how. Fight these stupid fucks. Just fight them any way you can.
