A person guilty of a crime is in rage mode because people wanting to convict that person won't let it go.
Just get rid of the judiciary system them, right? Pedophilia is ok now apparently, so are the rest of Trump his crimes. There should be a new law that says being rich exempts you from the law and being poor and being non-white is a crime. Oh wait, that's what diaper Donny is already working towards. Fucking dystopia we live in. Supporting genocide and apartheid, breaking down the judiciary system, creating an even bigger gap in wealth and power enslaving the general public.
With the possible exception of the judiciary system, literally all of that has been true for a long time now.
Even in cases where the rich can't just pay someone off (rare), In the cases where the rich are actually charged (also rare) if the 'punishment' is a fine, it's not really going to inconvenience a rich person. Typically the types of crime the wealthy get away with (Wage Theft, Corporate malfeasance etc) are punished by fines. This is by design.
There are numerous ways the being poor is criminalized, perhaps the worst example are 'vagrancy' laws, where being poor and/or unemployed is literally a crime.
"Non-White" people (with the exception of Asian people) are incarcerated at a much higher rate than white people.
Trump supports genocide, Harris supported genocide, Biden supported genocide, Hillary supported genocide, Obama, Bush Jr, Bill Clinton, Bush Sr, Regan....
The wealth gap has been widening since before I was born, and I'm 51 years old.
We never got rid of slavery. The 13th didn't eliminate slavery. I would even count Wage Slavery as a type of slavery.
Trump isn't some radical departure from 'American' values. Trump is American values turned up to 11.
I would like to think that the Trump administration will wake people up to the fact that the vision of America we were fed as children is a lie. We NEVER treated all people as if they were created equal. As long as Capitalism rules the day the Rich will always be the ruling class. There will always be different rules for them. The workers will always be exploited to make them rich.
The truth is so many people refuse to question the propaganda, that it will take a miracle to wake people up. So many people think if only we had elected the right people things would be different. It's not who we elect, it's the whole damn system that needs to change.
May the system come crashing down soon
