I thought so. Everyone keeps blaming the American people, and telling us to do something, but we are in a surveillance state here and our “law enforcement” have slowly been turning into a military force for decades. We protest and it doesn’t matter because the government is no longer concerned about the will of the people.

The untreated cancer keeps spreading, but instead of removing it, America has been getting botox and lip fillers. We are slowly dying on the inside, while those in power are proclaiming how beautiful we look.

No man…we’re pretty far from ok. It’s over, and everyone’s too stupid to figure it out. 

We’ve gone from satire, through parody, and are right in Greek tragedy. 

What’s shocking is the response, or lack there of, not one attempt at a coup, by an idealistic general. Nothing. We’re all just gonna stand around as everything gets dismantled and lit on fire. Weird way to go.
