The next time a bootlicker demands you present proof of the failings of capitalism, just point out what profit incentive does to a nation's power grid

They won't care or listen of course, but at least you can make others aware of their spurious arguments

America is out of the race as a technological leader, we have crippled our education on all levels for half a century, are a land of FAMOUSLY anti-intellectual citizens, and have offshored all off our RnD and manufacturing, ignored infrastructure collapse and elected a facts-optional government

And every single hammer blow over the last 50 years to our nation's independence and capability was signed by repugnicunt hands all under the banner of patriotism and greatness

And we can't even organize a protest to keep them from deporting American citizens with no due process.

I hope all of you Genocide Joe memers a terrible, lonely, and complicated rest of your lives

The "genocide Joe memers" forcing the Democrats to be unrepentant capitalist mass murders who hate their own voter base:

Sorry your rainbow nationalist bootlicking isn't turning out how you wanted . . . but to be fair, any cursory look at history would tell you that was gonna happen.

Every one of those hammer blows had massive support from the leadership of the Democratic Party which is still controlling the party.

Ahhh yes, this is the meme lord's fault. Who could forget the meme czar leading our nation into darkness under the promise of dankness.

GTFO... blaming some kids for a 50+ year failure of the political classes. Maybe the issue is, instead of blaming the politicians we all listen to them when they say its the [kids,boomers,libs,leftists,altright,conservatives,mexicans,europeans,russians,chinese] fault.

Pick a different scapegoat. Your argument sucks.
