1. Going back 200 years allows all power and wealth to be held by a small group of while males.
Trump wishes to be the richest and most powerful man in the world and this is the way he can do it.

2. Putin wishes to destroy the US and making it a third world country serves that purpose.

And they're only going to use this wretched abomination of an administration to get more money. Like literally *ALL* of our current problems can be traced back to the billionaire criminal class. There's 700 of them. There's 320 million of us. We are better than these fucking scumbags.

All global power and wealth will be held by a very small group of mostly white males.

The world's billionaires and fascist leaders have united.
They are done with democracy, human rights and the middle class.

I wonder what it's going to take to get this country to wake the fuck up? The economy is in shambles *BECAUSE* of these scumbags, and they have us fighting a culture war so we don't discover who the real bad guys are.

We have seen the US guardrails and all branches of government and Americans all fold like lawn chairs.

Currently we see everyone kissing the ring of the Dear Leader.

Americans are still in shock and denial. Others are just scrambling to survive.
Getting vaccines, medication and surgery now while they still can.
Cutting back on expenses, finding new sources of income.
Trying to protect vulnerable family members.

What will it take? I don't know.
The Japanese and German people didn't figure it out until the Allies had bombed their countries back
to the Stone Age, and allied troops were pointing guns at them.

poll taxes if they were inflated to 2024 dollars? Not so many away from Palm Beach and other enclaves of the uber-wealthy.
