    I’m not super knowledgeable on American donation laws, are there limits to how much a “person” can donate to a campaign? In Canada it’s limited to around CAD$3000-$5000 but I guess if corporations (sorry, “people”), can dump tons of cash into campaigns it means there’s no limit in the US?

      It does.

      However, corporations are not people when it comes to consequences.

      It’s yet another classic example of socialize the risk, privatize the profit.

        This. Corporations on paper should have consequences like a person. In practice, they can do whatever they want, because the US Government worships capitalism. More so than the people.

          I honestly might make a non-profit that just makes everyone resisting this regime into a corporate entity.

          I’ma dumb-fuck so help is needed.
