Thanks for drawing me back in towards empathy. I totally agree with everything you’ve said.

Nobody does a damn thing about it? Way to pre-emptively comply you spineless cuck.

Facts. But the other side of that is the massively unequal tax burden. Tax corporations and wealthy proportionally to their reported net worth and use that to fund substantial public services (healthcare, transportation, education, childcare) so that rising wages aren’t just funneled back into the same pockets.

You’re wrong about the founders not understanding identity politics; I recommend you read through George Washington’s farewell address. It’s is lengthy, for sure, but it explicitly warns Americans about the danger of unchecked fealty to a political party and the promulgation of a politics of identity versus national interest and unity.

The founders knew our democracy would be repeatedly tested by enemies foreign and domestic (almost like they included that in the Constitution for a reason) they simply hoped we would be educated enough to see when we’re being manipulated, and faithful enough to the country’s ideals to defend it. We’ll see if they’re right.

I hope you’re practicing rolling on your belly and wagging your tail for fascists.

What a useless, whiny attitude to have.
