I'm not american, but from what I see on here and other forums, there was a Suprem Court ruling that allowed essentially endless campaign donations from corporations to politicians, and they've been essentially controlling what gets passed as laws ever since.

Americans please correct me if I'm wrong, but my outsider perspective is basically that

It's in reference to elevatorgate and what I believe is a direct, stark black line from that to the election of Trump and his activation of the neofascist movement that is poisoning the US at this moment.

America goes harder on what they think is "socialism" than they do against white supremacy and literal Neo-Nazis

The result is a Republican Party that's only gotten more brazen and explicit with their bigotry and power grabs

This, combined with not holding the leaders of the confederacy sufficiently accountable for their crimes + also allowing them and their descendants to spread pro-confederate revisionist history ever since the war ended.

Well yeah, because if you understand cause and effect, and the passage of time, you'd realize the actions of the Trump administration affect the present.

You're inadvertently acknowledging your dear leader's fuck-ups by saying that. No president is either going to fuck up or fix the economy the exact moment WHEN they take office, nor would they be able to magically pre-fuck up the economy before they take office. Only their predecessor's actions would lead to that happening.

Once again, you all start a dumpster fire and always blame democrats for not being quick enough to put it out.
