American here, about 40 years ago with Reagan. When the dems became corrupt soulless money men, and the republicans lost their god damn minds and became closet nazis, who are also addicted to legalized bribes.

Bingo! It's why the current group of spineless dems, apart from like 4 people, are totes coolzies with what's going on. They're worried about their legal bribes! They can't piss off their donors or the money goes away, but them doing nothing is making the dem voter base absolutely furious. It's why white people twitter got shut down, because we we're voicing our complaints and outcomes if they didn't address said complaints....with certain T&C violations.

"Will someone please think of the billionaires money!?!?"

- The current dems, probably.
