    You should care. We should all care.

    The big problem we have in this country isn’t just a radical right, it’s extreme divisiveness. Foreign and corporate powers have done their best to divide the US populace and pit us against each other. Why? Because that makes us easier to control, easier to manipulate, easier to deceive, easier to advertise to. And one of the keys goals they have is a complete breakdown of communication. At this point we’re essentially speaking two different languages and don’t even understand each other any more. As soon as you stop talking to the other side, you’re letting the corpos and the despots win, because that’s what they want. If you don’t even care what the other side thinks, you’re essentially giving up on the whole idea of these “United” States (and you’re wandering ever closer toward another civil war).

      Cause knowing how much they love trump and AOC feet pics is gonna help us somehow put our country back together, and transform it into something that isn’t a horrifying mess like the last 200 years.
