Trump's stunning response when he was asked if he had a sexual "age limit" has taken on a new dimension amid the fallout from the "Epstein Files" controversy.

    1. We didn’t really have a democratic choice
    2. Most of my countrymen are stupid and proud of it
    3. Most of the people who are aware of how bad it is are not willing to break the law or upset the status quo to fight it
    4. Reform and revolution take organization but that takes time and effort that most can’t afford.
    5. People who were aware of how bad things were and are getting have become exhausted and constantly feel powerless to the point they can’t find the strength to keep trying

    Those with the time/wealth/power to do anything are too blind or unsympathetic to do anything real. Those without time and resources lack the resources to do anything influential without organization which they also lack the time and resources to create as well.

    We’re already in a dictatorship. But you likely have time to stop your country from following suit. Make sure there are good guys left to beat the shit out of us in the end

    Edit: to clarify, by “we didn’t have a democratic choice” I was referring to gerrymandering, vote suppression, and other things like winner take all states. I voted and I know there were a surprising number of people who voted blue despite being lifelong republicans. It didn’t do anything because we don’t have democracy.
