As a society we really need to figure out ways to stop normalizing this shit. Now, nobody is really freaking out anymore about people like Dr. Oz or Doug Mastriano. We know they are fascistic and corrupt beyond belief but it doesn't seem like we are freaking out about it anymore as a society. It's just the new normal now and it's really depressing. No, this hasn't always been the case and yes, if we don't find a solution, history can repeat itself.
Corruption and the media have de-educated people to the point where they have useful idiots like this running for office. We have to stop treating this like it's just Ol' Crazy Doug Mastriano running again. This is a systemic issue and we need to treat it like one. The problem is billionaires. They have always been the one problem.
We need to stop glorifying and romanticizing useful idiots like Donald Trump, Doug Mastriano, and Dr. Oz. They are not the issue. They have never been the issue. They are the symptoms of an actively oppressed society run by billionaires and it's fucking depressing. Mainstream outlets are actively propping up mentally ill people like this because it is sensational.
If we stop giving these puppets a platform, like we've been trying to do with mass shooters, then they won't be a threat.
