If one billionaire can bankroll a presidency, silence a former president, shape national policy, and trigger a 14% market crash… is that democracy or just digital feudalism?

[Lawrence Seretse® @SeretseII]

the people no longer govern.

A president who accepts millions in political donations from a billionaire, then turns around and threatens to destroy that billionaire’s companies when they fall out.

[Lawrence Seretse® @SeretseII]

Hatred takes root in the soil of ignorance and fear.

But when we enrich the soil of knowledge with facts, science and historical accuracy, hatred cannot spread like a deadly weed.
