Arguably, it started with Nixon.
Comment on Backroom: whose interests is Congress looking out for?

You need an app for this?
I’ll tell you who Congress is looking out for: billionaire pedophiles. And it’s been like that since Reagan (although they were just multimillionaires and not pedophiles back then I guess…)

you’re not wrong. I think it’s more like hard proof/receipts you can use for people who don’t understand that
ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 22 hours ago
I’m not sure what more hard proof you need: people struggle to make ends meet and pay for gas while a handful of ultra-rich fucks build themselves doomsday bunkers and spaceships to leave Earth - I guess because there aren’t any paradise islands left on Earth to diddle children in peace.
The only proof anybody needs is when they pay at the pump or at the grocery store.

personally I like to take the approach of meeting people where they’re at, rather than assuming they understand things that seem obvious to me. But to each their own

Well, as long as we get the rein in the techno-fascists and reclaim some semblance of democracy and equality, if your approach is better, I’m all for it.
