Being a billionaire is like staying alive long enough to be a villain. They were great at something but nothing justifies holding that much power for so long.

The people with Trumpgret didn't get there by people telling them they fucked up. These people don't value your opinion so telling them they're wrong is fulfilling your own needs, not anyone else's.

You can address the inaction of voters without making it about blaming individuals with as much power as yourself. But telling people "I told you so" serves a different need.

How exactly does blaming your neighbors create meaningful change? I don't care whether you think it's right or wrong, I am asking how it actually helps improve the system.

That's oligarchy apologetics bullshit to keep us from changing the system. No need to make things more democratic if we're blaming the majority of people.

It was a system of checks and balances, but the Democrats went along with consolidating power. So while yes, they aren't the direct cause, they were the adults in the room and they failed in that responsibility.

Every empire's days are numbered, but I don't think I can count that high
