No I’m just repating the hypocrisy in hope that somebody cares about it too.
I mean when I grew up America was the bastion of Democracy, the home of the free and something to aspire to. I guess in just in an extended period of mourning.

Hate to shatter that ideal more, but the US has never been a bastion of democracy. The electoral college has existed since the founding, women have only been able to vote since 1920, and black folks have only fully been enfranchised since 1965. Even so, the right has been working to disenfranchise black and poor folks ever since.

I know, but the idea itself is attractive. Just like the people that want America great again, I don’t agree with their ‘philosophy’ (that’s stretching the word) but I kind of understand the sentiment.

You are grieving for something that never really existed. If it exists and we are bold enough, then it exists in the future but you’ll have to trade your grief for hope, and an aluminium baseball bat.

Compared to what elon did, this doesn’t even look that bad. When you got money, everything is legal.

I was including Elon too, the ‘any’ includes political ‘donations’ through PACs and all of that shit too.
