“The United States, just months before its 250th birthday as the world’s leading democracy, has tipped over the edge into authoritarianism and fascism,” Garrett Graff, the American historian and author, wrote in August. “In the end, faster than I imagined possible, it did happen here.”
One awakes to new horrors each day. And it is difficult to grasp – and painful to realize – just how far gone we are, and how quickly it has happened.
We already pay 50%+ taxes when you account for income, sales, property, vice, gasoline, and now tariffs. Maybe corporations should pay an equal amount as we do.
My best guess is that Democrats don’t want to do anything most Americans want, like give workers time off work, or get rid of drug laws and stuff. Most democrats refuse to have any reasonable views on immigration. Go ask any European in Europe why they are voting right wing and they will tell you, because high levels of immigration, and their own citizens being thrown in prison for daring to say that they don’t like it.
The Democrats are nothing but a corporate party that wants low corporate taxes, mass surveillance, and to bring in as many conservative muslims and Indians as possible. Thank God they don’t understand the Mexicans are mostly liberal. It hates fun, it has zero respect for honest people. It doesn’t care about the opinions of Americans at all. The only reason they are valid at all is because the alternative is a literal antihuman Nazi party.
Maybe the democratic party should try something new like actual rights that affect most people. Vacation, and time off, limiting the work week. Maybe privacy? Maybe it’s not insane that a citizen should have a right to control their own personal information and data? Imagine that. So many things Democrats could actually advocate for and they would roll the right wing parties who don’t have a single good or even well thought out idea hardly between all of them.
The fuck are you on about?
