Jordan Rivers on Instagram: "Culture wars are manufactured by the mega wealthy to distract you from a class war that depends on your poverty and your labour to survive. And when those powerful people feel like you're becoming aware of that, they'll impose rules and laws to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to sanction or punish you. When all that fails they will overwhelm you with news and doubt to disenfranchise and disconnect you so you simply choose not to vote at all because low voter turn out always swings on their favour.
