No one is even bothering to ask Trump to condemn white nationalists marching through our nation’s capitol, because we have normalized that he won’t, and that he actually likes and encourages it surreptitiously.
The US loves to boast about how wealthy it is, but its wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few oligarchs.
US oligarchs are so insanely rich that they make average wealth seem very high.
But *median* wealth in the US is lower than in Slovenia & Portugal, and half of Italy's

LIBERTY BELLS ring out throughout Philadelphia; the streets ERUPT IN ECSTASY.
250 years ago, this country was founded on a radical idea that government answers to the people.
Today, that idea is under attack by a man who embodies the very tyranny our Founders rejected.
Let's honor the promise of America by defending our democracy.
Happy birthday, America!

President Biden's message on America 250.
"I'm not sure we are as divided as we portray. There are safeguards in the Constitution and people are beginning to realize they are being trampled on right now. 250th anniversary of the country reminds people that democracies depends on certain basic rules. Democracy is dictated by the rule of the Constitution."
No, i won’t stop talking about this. I lost most everything to know why this happened. Six billion people took the DNA changing vaccine, it may have been the only occurrence in all of human history where every single decision maker and every single country agreed.
