@randahl ...and what are we gonna do about it?

@VeroniqueB99 @randahl Apparently Vote. Hahahahah. This is a Coup and we are the fools that think the Oligarchy and Putin won't win

@otownKim @randahl ...JFC... we're in for one hell of a ride....😬 🤦

@VeroniqueB99 @randahl Yep! This shit started with Reagan!!!!!

@otownKim @randahl It did.... but we haven't been stopping it (other than Obama... I was pretty hopeful there for a minute...)...

@VeroniqueB99 @randahl I actually thought Clinton did a phenomenal job too. Obama made me feel better about the country and now ....here we are

@otownKim @randahl yep... we are! 🤣

@VeroniqueB99 @randahl I honestly don't know what we can do. I vote then my vote is stolen. 2000 Gore/Bush. Clinton/Drumpf 2016. The electorate, billionaires, cooperations, MSM and now the Illegitimate SCOTUS are all against us. It's fucking infuriating!!

@otownKim @randahl SAME!!! Every. single. time.
In fact last time, I was literally told to 'not bother cuz your vote won't count' (i voted blue in a crimson state and sure enough it's like i pissed in the wind! The entire system is useless and they're gerrymandering the fack out of it anyway!🤬

@VeroniqueB99 @randahl Ugh 😩

@otownKim @randahl yeah.

It didn't start with #RonaldReagan, though he was a successful paragon of rightwing #Republicanism.

It started in 1965 at the latest:

@randahl

@HistoPol @otownKim @randahl oh yeah you're right of course, but Reagan was a hinge point. A point of no return if you will precipitated by the whole 'trickle down' shite.🙄

You are right, Vee, #Reagan did pull out most of the stops and changed the US political system for decades, until this very day:
