~Here is some brutal irony for y'all: Donald Trump could have be a great president, maybe the greatest since FDR. He has long been a conman and as such could see clearly what a massive con job the present political setup is. He even talked about that back in 2016 when he was running, pointing in the GOP debates that he'd donated to everyone on the stage with him with the full knowledge that they'd 'owe him'. He talked about how American corporations were stripping America of its jobs and industries. That was a big part of how he won.
If he'd actually done something about those things once he got elected, he'd have become great...
...but he's just a conman who was running a Big Con and never expected to win. And he'd also 'poisoned the well' with his racism and homophobia and all his other flaws. And when he did win, he only saw that as an opportunity to Grift on a grand scale.
The California Highway Patrol used its SWAT team to evict a homeless family on Thanksgiving Eve. They were squatting in an empty house owned by CalTrans. The CHP also brutalized and arrested the neighbors who tried to stop them.
I'm looking at another 30 day ban on Facebook because I put an expletive in front of 'Russians', which they claim is 'hate speech'. For me, that is really just a pin prick, even tho it triggers my PTSD. We have food and a safe roof over our heads.
These two events are each at the far end of the scale, but they are still Corporate Abuse...and such is cumulative.
How long, and how much, of this non-stop abuse we it take before there is a real explosion?
PS Don't think things will change with Joe Biden. He's a Corporatist to his bones and is actually going to put Republicans into his administration.
