We are living the end result of a political system controlled by wealth

And the only solution is an impossible one under existing norms.

That ship sailed, IMO, with Citizens United.

Up until now, we have had some semblance of sanity, though the scales were decidedly tipped.

With the unbridled psychopaths Thiel, Musk and Trump all pretenses are gone.

Curtis Yarvin's "Dark Enlightenment" is fully funded.

The people will not stand for this, and most of us will make it to the other side of this, but what exists now will be transformed into something else, and hopefully something where the violence being visited upon us is no longer possible.

Termites is exactly what I think of each and every Trump appointment.

How is the problem addressed of a house being eaten by termites?

Fumigation!
