I agree, we share the blame, but most people are essentially building the country they want. We could have complained eight years ago about being blindsided by this, but not anymore. Now we're just living in the exact kind of pathetic circus we consciously chose.
The question is who is actually choosing this? Nobody voted for some caricature to run the country. Listening to him sometimes feels like being in a parallel universe—if he weren't so tragic, he'd actually be a comedy.
I honestly think people will snap eventually and things will descend into chaos. This administration seems tailor-made to ignite the nation through sheer stupidity and their knee-jerk reactions to minor protests. But I fear it might be too late, and even if it happens, it'll be futile—we stopped making our own decisions a long time ago; now someone else out West handles that for us.
They do, but not in such an obvious, blatant way. This isn't some grand mission to "purge leftist influence" like they're trying to sell us—it's just basic political cronyism and installing loyalists. Just look at how they started pushing out veteran journalists in NYC just to appease certain radical factions. They aren't "loyal" enough. And then there was the Reform Party—they promised us the moon and stars, big changes we desperately needed. What did we get? They filled positions just as fast as the Democrats, backed out of local government reforms, abandoned cutting congressional perks "because nobody supports them 🙂," and grabbed every single privilege they claimed they were going to abolish. Unbelievable.
In the end, that one populist outlier was the only one showing any accountability to voters; everyone else just folded.
Man, it's been like, what, 25 years since there were any actual die-hard party loyalists left? And their talent pool is even thinner than that. I honestly don't know if there were even any true-blue hardline communists on PBS back in the old days. Most of the people there were just in it for the perks and the sweet benefits, not because they actually believed in the ideology. I mean, if I'm being totally honest, most of them probably didn't even care about the whole communist thing—but hey, you don't bite the hand that feeds you, right? And when it comes to shuffling staff around... well, the Democrats pull the exact same moves. They basically operate on the same playbook, even going as far as changing the laws governing public broadcasting just to suit them. It seems like every time there’s a change in administration, the *modus operandi* is always the same: just a massive revolving door for cronies and political appointees. The Democrats are just way better at it, though. Their public image is definitely more polished than the Republicans'. They're much better at hiding their dirty laundry, and honestly, they probably have less of it to hide anyway. To put it bluntly? The Democrats will wrap a pile of crap in fancy gold foil two hundred times so you don't realize what it is until you unwrap it. Meanwhile, the Republicans just hand you a turd wrapped in a greasy paper bag from a local bakery.😁.
I don't know, I find it kind of hilarious watching people lose their minds because MOST decided to ditch the Democrats and team up with the Republicans instead. Like, honestly? It would’ve been way better if they had just gone with some other party entirely—then things actually might have gone smoothly for once.🤣I mean, look, Democrats might be slightly better than Republicans, but let’s be real—they both suck. In any actual, functioning country, they’d just be a tiny footnote in history. They wouldn't be hogging all these seats in Congress just because their fan clubs refuse to let anyone else take the wheel.
I mean, I’ve actually had the privilege of working as a contractor for some big government agencies, and honestly? When it comes to cronyism and hiring their buddies, there isn't much of a difference between the Republicans and the Democrats. I don't even need some "expert" analyst to tell me that. I've seen enough firsthand—just listening to those hacks from both sides mock each other while simultaneously giving these long-winded speeches about why they'd "never" work for such low wages. It's all the same.
Honestly, I don't even have the energy to write about this. I totally messed up big time, and I guess I'm pretty late to the party with this response too.

🤣 I mean, is this some kind of new thing where everyone just loses their minds? Because honestly, it feels like this has been the standard since the dawn of time here in America.
