    Our brains tend to simplify things to help us understand the world around us. “Both parties are dumb” is rhetoric that you submit to when you don’t really want to understand what makes them different, or what their agendas are.

    I’m not saying people don’t get fucked on decisions either party makes. It does in fact happen, but the world just isn’t so black and white. We need to have the ability to criticize our representatives and hold them accountable, but right now I’d say there’s a party that doesn’t want any such accountability, and their agenda would put regular people further away from being able to take action.

    I kind of envy the mindset where one has empathy for someone who is so out of touch with reality given their status. I like to think I’m a good, just person that wants to do the right thing but when I think of what the billionaire’s perspective is: someone with so much power and influence that most people are just objects or playthings to them, it’s frustrating to think about. They think they’re bigger than people, the earth, maybe even the universe.

    I’m not saying I could be the triggerman, I’m not that kind of person, but yeah, fuck 'em.
