Accurate, but those who should be most ashamed by this have no shame.

What a disgrace….how embarrassing for us as a nation. All I keep reverting to is I was a graduate of the “Class of 76”….it was really a big deal. lol. Sure as fuck in my teens never saw this coming. Just wow…

True. But this has been a repeating rhyme in American History. When this recent Era of resentment and anger that the GOP, Fox News, and Trump fueled I felt the same energy that had happened in our history just before the Civil War. Oligarchs, division, threats, and insurrection for Power & Greed.
