102. That may very well be but there isn't anything to be done about it.

He’s the President, the bad guys own all of government. Even if there was definitive proof of all this, nobody would do anything about it. The election was conceded and they were all sworn in.

There would be protests, sure. The same people who came out last Saturday would be there, the MAGAts would still be the MAGAts and the indifferent would still be the indifferent.

Nothing matters anymore. Everyone is going to cling to their team no matter what happens. And then people who don’t care one way or the other aren’t going to suddenly be involved.

We’re stuck with these assholes, probably for the next fifty years or so.

It’s not until things get so bad that people have nothing left to lose that you will see the action that should have been taken long ago. We’re too comfortable and doing what needs to be done is too inconvenient and too horrible for anyone to think about right now, let alone activate.
