Painfully obvious

[angrychair]

Should be painfully obvious by now to everyone that corporate media wants Trump and Republicans in control because misery, conflict and hate are better for ratings and advertising than peace, prosperity and balanced budgets.

I mean what other conclusion is there? Trump was a train wreck while in office and even more so out of office.

Republicans had control of both the house and Senate and did nothing but give tax breaks to billionaires.

Republicans across the country are overtly racist and anti-LGBTQ and overtly wanting Trump to seize power no matter the election result and creating horrible laws that do horrible things.

Yet polling is solidly in favor of Republicans re-taking Congress in a landslide by huge numbers.

Media has a lot to do with this. Playing both sides, whataboutism and just giving more weight to Republican talking points by attacking everything Democrats say despite offering no plan of their own besides the same nonsense talking points from 20 yrs ago.

Trump and his inner circle are literally above the law. Not hypothetical. I truly believe he could stab someone to death on live TV and nothing would happen to him.

I honestly believe that the world wants to be miserable. We are not happy unless others are suffering. Sorry, if there is a positive spin here I don't see it.

1. Our information (news) system is now run by a handful of corporate entities.

Corporations are not people. They have no souls, no sense of ethics. They are sharks, swimming endlessly in search of prey, consuming all the money and people they possibly can, with no mercy and no restraints.

4. Revoke corporate personhood.

Slavery is the fiction that people are property.
Corporate personhood is the fiction that corporations are people.

3. I like to look at it as reTHUG Fascists being in control. For me that answers questions

about their goals, methods and behaviors. I don't believe people in the world want to
be miserable or suffer due to all this. But then no matter how we think about it, Fascists
are the enemy of the rest of us and we must neutralize them.

Thanks for making me think.
