The collective outpouring of admiration for a young alleged assassin points to a gaping void in American politics.

      I wouldn’t say fixed as things are the same way as they are, but reminded us how every day we are fucked by oligarchs.

      This is a weird time as we just elected them, just look how many billionaires are in trump’s cabinet picks.

        as we just elected them

        That’s because the system is rigged. We can only ever choose between one rich person and another.

    No shit… The gaping hole is the fact rich fucks are all we have to vote for. The President that recently won is the biggest example of undeserved wealth and power ever.

      Tell ya what. I’m struggling to make rent right now. Working 6 days a week, living alone, just keeping my head above water.

      2028, everybody vote for me, and I’ll run on the platform of giving rich people the middle finger.

      Like Robin Hood…except vulgar.

    Be careful not to say anything positive about luigi because you’re certainly going to end up on a priority list of people they are going to keep a lot of surveillance on. It’s true, feds are terrified of people who seem inspired by things like this. If you say something really really nice about Luigi, the feds might even send you one of their female undercover agents to be your girlfriend for a while and spy on you.

    I’ve been surprised by how many people are celebrating this guy. Just goes to show how strongly the contempt is felt for the American healthcare system.
