That and the rise of social media were an insane one-two punch.

Somehow 2 MAGA SCOTUS judges should be made to leave after 2028 when dems win .In a war anything is ok .No morals needed .We are fighting demons

It was always a bad ideal.

I think SOX act and United will eventually meet in the Supreme Court one day. Both deal with corporations and seem to define themselves differently. Check it out 😎

Citizens United was nothing less than the death knell of democracy.

That ruling changed this country in the worst possible way. Turned us into a literal oligarchy.

I don't think you had to be smart to understand what a disaster Citizens United would be. When you follow the money you always find corruption.

Anyone with half a brain could tell you that. It’s nuts.

Imagine, being able to buy elections by private propaganda. What could go wrong?

It all started with Citzens🤬That Chief Justice Robert’s establishing the plan for the end of democracy

This successful plan to turn America into an oligarchy began (the most recent) with Charles Koch's white hot fury at Brown v board of education. Racism was the last straw. He began having secret seminars just for the very rich in order to proselytize co-conspirators. 1/
