@dangillmor America was never great…it’s an ugly shithole nation founded on white supremacy. Trump isn’t the problem, he’s merely a symptom. The actual problem is that 77 million Americans knowingly voted for a treasonous criminal piece of shit, and are proud of it. #USpol

Cory has had it up to here.
You should, too.
This nonsense with the billionaire class, and how fucking "genius" they are, has got to fucking stop.
No trillionaire is worth this, and no trillion-dollar capitalism is worth this sacrifice.
We are a nation of human and civil rights, written into the civil and governmental promise that these rights are inviolable.
Privacy, due process, safety, versus uncertainty and terror, every second of every day, we are watching these rights be enshittified. Before our own eyes.
What the fuck has happened, here?
Take our humanity back. Wrestle it away from the abusers of the power they have wrestled, from us, instead of being freely given, with the consent of the governed.
This is a deep, profound moment, in which we, collectively, find ourselves.
Be smarter than the rich assholes, and drive this country, and all of the other free nations of the world, forward, for all of our species.

@dangillmor Respectfully, the Epstein class haven't gutted a once-great America. In my eyes America has only ever been great if you were/are a white, wealthy, male land owner. If you were/are anything else, America has only ever been a failure to live up to the ideals espoused in the Declaration of Independence.

That's not quite true, at least about a portion of that number.
There are definitely people who regret voting for him and more still who just didn't believe he would do what's in that Project 2025 playbook.
There was solid polling about it before the election. If they thought he would they would not have voted for him.
Michael Podhorzer and Anat Shenker-Osorio talked about this dynamic just a few days ago - https://www.weekendreading.net/p/the-maga-reconstruction-of-the-north -

@dangillmor It's becoming less great by the minute, too. Really stinking up the joint.
