      Of course not. The biggest mistake is believing that “democratic” institutions can somehow regulate economically powerful people.

      The system is working exactly as it’s supposed to : the bourgeoisie is above the law.

      The second sentence is absolutely true, but we made our biggest mistake way before that. Not hanging every confederate after the war was probably it. But I’m sure there are historians that could argue for something earlier.

        Sherman could have finished the job. Now we have concentration camps. This is what happens when you let conservative cockroaches continue to infest our nation.

      They will absolutely spend 25% of airtime trashing democrats. Also 25% glazing Trump and 50% advertisements.

        There was a brief but glorious period after Trump lost reelection at the end of his first term where all the social media sites finally started cracking down on the entire alt-right. Automated misinformation detectors went up, agitators and openly racist accounts (including Trump) were banned, and things almost started to look like they might get better for once.

        The moment Trump started polling well in the last election, they reversed course real quick. All those programs were shut down and the worst people in the world got their accounts unbanned just in time for the 2024 election.

          It wasn’t a very glorious time for those of us who were screaming and banging our heads on the walls, pleading, begging, demanding that the government, state, local, whoever would actually prosecute the guy who had just attempted to violently overthrow democracy.

          I actually smashed my car radio with my foot while sitting at a stop light when I heard an NPR report on Hitler II’s “humiliating end” via the kid glove treatment.

            That’s a mighty large purity test you got there buddy. We dont do purity tests in this country, so you should probably get over your innate desire for representation in government ASAP.

        Google relies so much on automated systems that I wouldn’t be surprised if one of their content filters or copyright bots shuts it down the first day.

          Honestly, I’d be surprised if they don’t hardcode an exception. I mean consider the crap Meta is doing right now censoring anything involving feminism. However there have been clear examples of other viewpoints that should also be censored that somehow get past this so-called automatic filter.

      President Camacho found the smartest guy on the planet and listened to him despite Not Sure having a peanut size head. The world around Camacho improved and he had charisma. He left office when things were on an upturn and burrito coverings were doing better. Camacho was the kind of leader people would watch fuck. There would be an epidemic of hysterical blindness and riots if the sitting and shitting president got on TV and fucked. The difference between President Camacho and the other one is night and day. One has brown skin and white underpants. The other one has white skin and brown underpants.

    Oddly, I feel like this is going to affect Trump more than other things he did. The media isn’t going to like Trump taking things away from them. Even Fox News is against this one.
