Thank you! The poor/working class were just as repressed after the revolution. It's a dumb comparison.

We need to delineate here. It's not all Democrats, it's ones that are taking corporate, AIPAC and other dark money. Grassroots campaigns are the only successful way to get candidates that represent working class constituents because that's where the money comes from. This all goes back to Citizen's United, which was the largest attack on democracy in my lifetime.

Also, the attorney general isn't supposed to be a lapdog for the president, they're supposed to act autonomously to enforce checks and balances and.... The law. I know, silly notion. This is a huge shift in corruption that sadly, the American people have come to accept due to propaganda and normalization. The files were sealed due to the Maxwell investigation by a federal judge, which is normal during an ongoing investigation. Then they were reopened by Congress during the Trump regime and the attorney general doesn't follow the law and there's no accountability due to the aforementioned efforts.

This is something that I always think about when people mention guillotines and why the example is so stupid to me. The aftermath of the French Revolution was bad for the Feudal Monarchy, but also wasn't good for Robespierre and the Jacobins. If you recall, he was also beheaded by the guillotine after shooting off his own jaw and the sans-culottes were repressed by the bourgeoisie after the revolution "stabilized". It's critical to have a well-developed plan in any power vacuum or there will be far more bloodshed, instability and other bad guys will just take over.

Laura Fine took a ton of AIPAC money to split the vote from Kat. They were also paying influencers $1500 a post to disparage Kat. She's Palestinian, so they threw millions against her in the final days of the race to ensure democracy didn't function.

I like them. Even if it doesn't hide a loading screen in a specific instance, as others have pointed out, it breaks up the pace. It's never very long and usually it makes me focus on some art, animation or music that I hadn't noticed or was taking for granted. It usually lasts a very small amount of time. I think our attention spans have just shrunk so much.
