This pisses me off. Not that because such a thing like this has happened and who's behind it. Of course, braindead trump dicklicker and deepthroaters yet throwing the world's biggest tantrum over a fairly lead general election after 4 years prior, told everyone they opposed to, to "get over it".
It pisses me off, that we do not have this kind of ambition and this kind of drive, towards GOOD things and resolves to our problems.
No, it's for stupid fucking trivial things. I would've loved to have seen mobs of people storm Wall Street and harass all of those stock brokers and investors. I would've loved to have seen mobs of people over run billionaire's homes. I would've loved to have seen staff workers going on a mass exodus and a revolt from being abused and misused.
But no, all of that shit is shut down in minutes. But bullshit antics like whatever the MAGATards are doing, yeah they somehow got the spotlight.
Can you imagine what kind of world or country we could have if all these MAGA-turds focused their energy on constructive things rather than DEstructive? It's so sad.
We would have stronger worker rights.
We would have stronger unions.
We would have affordable healthcare, housing.
We would have better wages, benefits and retirement packages.
We would have stomped out greed within the month if it was all in a focused, collective and collaborative effort.
But no, a failed businessman, rapist, cheater, liar, traitor, crony and conman is the focus.
Seems like most politicians want us fighting right vs left, rather than bottom vs top. And a scary number of people just eat that shit up
Unfortunately any extremist views and actions seem only to cause harm. If that energy was focused towards more helpful notions we would be in paradise by now.
