    The left also thinks corrupt government is a problem

    Meanwhile the right proudly advertises their love for corrupt billionaires

        Both sides are now 30% of the electorate or less (pick your poll, D&R are very close).

        Independents are now 40% of the voters.

          Both sides is a pretentious asshole, are you seriously suggesting that 30-40% of all politically active US citizens are pretentious assholes?

          I am an independent and I have zero issues seeing the ruling class and the culture they have created as the problem. Blaming it on the government is short sighted and plays into the wealthy’s hands. That is just stupid in my book.

    This has to be one of the most boomer out-of-touch I’m-a-cool-smart-guy memes I’ve seen on here, and that’s saying something.

    Its not like that at all.

    The left is saying billionaire are the problem. Their existence is a sign of corrupt system.

    The right is saying all the left is corrupt. They don’t mind their corrupt politicians.

    Also everyone should go check how this left meme started. The lady in the picture was actually very calm and reasonable. Perfect metaphor for how the right manipulates the media into creating stories out of nothing.

    We really gotta stop using that girl in memes that make her seem crazy. She was the calmest most reasoned person in that video.

    The right in the US only says what their cult leader tells them to say. If he says the government is bad (which he often does when he’s not the one running it), it’s bad, but when he says it’s good, (which he often does when he’s the one running it) they say it’s good.

    Keep the masses busy with UFCs fights and fighting each other while getting away with raping babies. A playbook as old as history can remember.

    Right, so the proper order of operations here is to get rid of the corrupt billionaires, so that we can clean up the corrupt government.
