    Sure man.

    If you were paying attention, you’d notice that manipulating the government has been a fine craft for the ruling class.

    As in, they’ve carefully calculated how much they need to spend in order to influence public opinion. It isn’t much. They have way, way more to spend.

    What we’ve seen is only the bare minimum they’re willing to put out to maintain control. It really is that simple.

      I’ll gladly vote for the iron boot grinding me into the dirt that still allows me to breathe instead of the one that is going to drown my face in the mud. If I have a choice, I’ll take the best available option.

        Yeah, we keep getting punished because we can’t work together against the common enemy.

        We’d rather step on each other than build ourselves up.
