Reply to comment by IFightPolarBears in Mass. due $230 million in opioid settlement with CVS, Walgreens by ak47workaccnt

Both sides do questionable shit. In mass when the gov is Republican and senator dies, they change law so gov can’t pick senator. I have no affiliation to either party, and don’t think they are all that different. Both are self serving.

I have no issue with people becoming rich. I think it’s great if you can amass a fortune by adding value to society. But who cares what one guy wants? He can have his opinion. Whatever. I’m sure there is a poor person who would also like to be king of America. What does that matter?

As I have stated I don’t really watch the news, so I didn’t see videos or read about the morons beating people up and not getting arrested. Entirely possible it happened. They should get arrested if they assaulted anyone. Just like anyone that assaulted them should get arrested.

I do think America is special. But I support a democratic and capitalist society. So, if nothing else, there is too much money here for fascism or socialism to take over, IMHO.

Neither do I.

But we've allowed rich people/corporations to dump unlimited money into our government. That alone is one of the most corrupting forces in government.

Well, neo nazis do. Nazis want what that guy is paying for. He's literally paying for neo nazis to get into government.

Poor person can't pay for his views to be made reality.

This is what was said about WW1 being impossible to break out due to how much money was being made. Lol if you think fascists care about money I've got a Kanye to sell you.

Also both Hitler and Mussolini had their major corporations taking over by supporters. So the money never really stopped flowing.

Also lol @ socialism taking over. What's that look like?

There isn’t much left so say.

I guess one of us will be shown right. Either country continues on as is for a while longer, or a fascist takes over.

Time will tell.
