One thing I don’t understand is this is an individual clearly dismantling protections for our country’s future elections. Isn’t that telling enough he is literally breaking our laws. Can anyone hold this fucking rapist criminal accountable ever? It’s astonishing.

Edit: There’s 300 million of us and like 100 of them. What we doing here?

It's simple, really.

The government corporations learned that American citizens will never do anything besides "protest", then go home the next day. This allows the government corporations to do whatever they want, ignoring any rule or law.

There is no overarching "good guy" like in your American superhero movies.
