Well, one of us is anyway. Sadly, he's sitting in the top office.


77 Million of you, who voted him into office, are. A lot more are silent enablers. Don’t think the rest of the world is going to forget about your role in what is happening right now.


That’s the messiness. 77 million voted for a slightly worse life. Higher food and gas prices. Less jobs. Higher rents.

All in the name of “immigrants are root cause problems”

The average person really has one choice “red” or “blue” and there isn’t much reason other than my group votes a certain way so I vote that way.

Trump came to power because he tapped into people’s anger.

I don’t see a world where this gets better. Social media and news propagates fear and hatred like wildfire. Algos massively boost up anything that improves engagement. Engagement improves adclicks.

So we may actually end up destroying the empire for a bunch of adclicks.
