99% of the country votes capitalist every two years, and then everyone clutches their pearls when capitalist things happen. Guys, this is the world you wanted. The ruling parties are not hiding who they are from you.

Jesus Christ. Then the next video is how the Statue of Liberty and ?Abraham Lincoln?! Are crying over a travel restriction?! Don't get me wrong what a stupid response from Trump to "answer" immigration but Christ it is so performative nonsense.

Well, 99% of the people who vote. The people who dissent do it by not voting.

If you're a wage earner, you've watched the last two decades as both Democrats and Republicans have made it explicitly clear that they're comfortable with you being paid poverty wages.
