And it's not even a subtle fraud - it's a blatant one.

This is another of those watershed moments - will the American people rise up against the grotesquely corrupt and destructive few who are destroying their civilization, or will they just lay back and get fucked even more?

Sadly, my money's on the latter.

How many watershed moments have there been since '25...

But yeah, this time it's about the people's money. That's different. Like gas prices.

I wonder how MAGA media plays this one.
