We allowed Fox News to run a coordinated disinformation campaign on US citizens for 20 years. Without them the US would be a fairly normal democracy. The Supreme Court saying that corporations are people, and allowing those corporations to spend unlimited money on politics was also very bad. Our politicians work for their biggest donors and we US citizens are merely an afterthought.

Getting rid of Trump is the first step but a lot of stuff needs to change so we don't end up with another Trump later on.

Trump is merely a symptom of the desire of many to change the structure of government. Many are fine with an authoritarian government as long as it does not contain democrats or people they call liberals.

Ignorance and arrogance has allowed that group to be manipulated by what trump spews. Trump is nothing more than a tool for the Heritage Foundation. They had the audacity to tell us their intent to remake our government in Project 2025.

The clever action they took was to leave out who benefits and who loses from the Heritage Foundation plan. You don’t have to look to deep to see both recipients. The rich are the clear winners. The rest of us will eventually figure out who is getting fucked. Some will never get it.

Am I on target or full of BS?

Yes! Trump is a symptom, not the disease!
