(32,139 posts)Our form of government has changed, all the theater about democracy notwithstanding. The corporate shills can deny it to the ends of the earth, but the policies prove the point.
Today, our corporate Trojan horse presidency is working to fast-track the TPP and double troops in Iraq, while simultaneously insulting America with a shameless Kabuki of supporting net neutrality while the FCC officials HE APPOINTED pretend to go rogue, all as planned.
What blithering idiots they take us for.
And the very presence of the 24/7 propaganda machine excusing and spreading the horseshit only drives home how deep and tentacled and shameless the corruption of political messaging has become in this country.
States that build surveillance machines also build propaganda machines.
We are there. We have suffered a corporate coup of our democracy.
2+2=4.
And shame on every morally bankrupt shill who takes a little paycheck to aid and abet it. You have sacrificed nothing less than your fundamental human decency.
