America hasn't gone insane, our democracy has been hacked

We are not ok with any of this at an insane level of unity... More than we've had for anything in my lifetime. Congress members are resigning right now in the hopes of saving their careers

We're up against the full weight of the global 1%. They're trying to hollow out our county and leave it as a playground for billionaires

They own the media, the administration, the highest court, and to some extent our law making bodies

This is a disease. It's coming for everyone if it isn't stopped

Yet y'all still shopping at Amazon, using Facebook, giving your wages to the very people that are doing all of this, just living the same as you always have, obedient little consumers. Half of America votes for this and the other half doesn't seem to think it's serious enough to make any significant change in how they live. Your democracy is literally at stake here! It isn't just MAGA that empowers this, it's every American who can't seem to figure out that how they have lived their lives fuels the money that's making this happen.

How cute. You think we have other options?

We don't.

Yes you do. Stop spending money at the companies of the people trying to destroy your democracy. You don't have to Facebook, you probably just don't want to make a sacrifice.

I haven't used Facebook in 10 years. When do I get my democracy back?
