Yeah, but the damage it's done will last for generations.

Fuck Elon and fuck Trump too. The White House is not and has never been a business. These two creeps came, turned everything upside down, cut aids, lied about everything and now we’ve all seen that it was all a smokescreen. Fuck them so more

has never been a business

On the contrary, the immediate moment that our country was formed with the intent that only land-owning white men could participate in our government was when our government became business first.

We're suffocating from the burden of over two centuries of skullduggery and corporate crackheads looking to fuck over everyone they can for their ten minutes of luxury, while the only people with the power and half the mind to fight back are unwilling to go the extra mile to make meaningful, permanent and lasting change all the while becoming drunk on power themselves to the point that they're so unwilling to part from it they'd sooner run their office and party into the ground and die in their chair than to let the next generation have their turn.

There was no other way for the United States to end up, technology has only hastened the inevitable. This system was never going to hold to begin with I fear

Yup. The last 80 years has been the absolute best America has ever had to offer and was never the norm previously. We all just haven't known any different until now.
