Lol literally noone thinks that wouldn't be for the best then
Ngl, total collapse looks more appealing every day
Burn it down.
They actually admit that the whole system is corrupt. Sharpen yer axes, America!
I'm all for it. Throw every single pedo protector in the government right into a cold dark jail cell. Since they're such a big fan of not having die process, let's send them to prison now and work out if they're actually guilty later. Basically every republikkkan in office. All are complicit.
Hard ball.
The thing is: it would not collapse.
These billionaires and big CEOs think they hold up the heavens, but if the 1% would die off tomorrow (or get put in jail) not much would change.
Companies would work as they normally do, perhaps even better without egomaniacs controlling them for once. The real work happens much further down the chain if command.
Politicians would have to be replaced, but except for some early voting in some areas the impact would be quite small. There are rules for politicians leaving office before their term ends, or else every politician who died or gets convicted would be a major problem.
It's an excuse and a bad one, I'd say.
This is just some 'Atlas shrugged' nonsense.
Seriously, the US needs their system to be remade and restructured from the ground up. So many things were never regulated and simply not done out of tradition. But Trump breaking with every tradition has now opened pandoras box and showed to any future bad actor with how much you can get away. It's somewhat surprising that it took 250 years for someone to break the system like this, but it most certainly won't take another 250 years to repeat now that Trump has set the precedent, unless the system itself fundamentally changes
Then it needs to be done. Seriously, dont make a bunch of pissed off nobodies form a Lynch mob ... its not the way it should be. Too many innocent (but fed up) people would go to jail over a Lil vigilante justice on some pedophiles. Lock these people up. They are gross. The only reason they cling to power is because they are trying to stay out of prison.
Yes thank you that's literally the fucking point
This woman would make Mr. Roger's cry.
Don’t threaten us with a good time
I'm already for it, you don't have to sell it to me.
There is no alternative
