Occupied America is an ever increasingly desperate and horrible place for the middle class/poor as designed by reich wing fascists, Pooty, Eloon and their toy orange assclown.

in Germany. Germany's economy was bad and they had unbelievable inflation after WWI, I can see that now. But
the US economy was the envy of the world and inflation had come down.to under 3%. There is a world of
difference between 1930s Germany and 2024 US. The only explanation I have is today we have the right-wing media
and the internet. I think the last chance we have is the 2026 election or Trump dropping dead.

16. You don't understand. To the cult, Joe Biden's economy was a depression.

and the country was run by socialists ball-gagging free speech.

And sending tourists to prison to make room for gang members selling their schoolkids into slavery.

I'll OP something cool shortly.

So take the time and try to look around you...
Just see who thinks ignorance is bliss...

Lifetimes for the shapin'...
Countries for the takin'...

Turned around and seems to me it's all been sold to hell.

Ain't no way one man alone...
Hid the bodies, bought the throne,
But buying in to sell us out?

Odd to say, I ain't got no doubt.
