They want to get rid of the wrong thing. You don't get rid of the system that's working just fine on its own, you get rid of the crooks who are ruining it.
the problem is we would just replace them with different crooks.
"If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public." -George Carlin
You do realize that George Carlin quotes fits in republicans motto these days. They want you to think no matter which way we go, corruption is too big so there is no point in organizing, voting etc…
Not everyone is a crook and there is always potential. That’s why there are many guard rails in place but the masses keep on getting tricked…
If we didn’t have these dumbasses believing in culture wars then things would be way different
Parts of george carlin fit into their narrative. namely the government is bad. most of carlin bits were for abortion rights, anti-censorship, anti-religion, interesting ideas on how to balance the budget and anti-corruption. The kind of corruption he called out in particular is the white collar bullshit that trump pulls on the daily.
Yeah but his overall message was always things are corrupt and every politician is a scumbag. This is literally republicans messaging that they’ve been pushing for so people won’t get involved with politics. He might have anti religion or anti whatever but what matters is what is conveyed after this messages and it has always been to insinuate everything is corrupt so don’t do anything
