I hear ya.
I never fully realized until after the 2014 elections just how utterly bought and paid for and corrupt our central government has become. We are held in contempt by them while they cater to their corporate masters wants and needs. And that is on both sides of the aisle. Because money talks and bullsh** walks. That is all it is about now.
It has really hit home and caused me to think very differently now.
“We are held in contempt by them”
The British held us in comtempt, e.g. the song “Yankee Doodle”.
That was the point it became us v. them, instead of `We’re all English’.
That’s where we’re at now.
