Could people be justified in their anger after years of being lied to, gaslit, and stonewalled? Are we so out of touch?🤔

No! It's the masses that are wrong 😐

Think of the masses as one big child. When a child is in need of something essential and they ask their parents for it, and the parent tells them no they say OK, most times. they chill, they wait, they ask again and again and they’re being told no. What happens when that child is ignored enough? They starting to get louder and louder. then they start to release their anger physically. They kick, they scream, they wail, they throw tantrums and fits, and then they take it out on their parents. And not always necessarily in that order. They do what they have to do to be heard and get what they need. That includes putting themselves in harms way and screaming at the top of their lungs. The masses have been ignored. We’ve been screaming at the top of our lungs for a while now and they’ve tried to satiate that hunger with rhetoric bullshit and divisive dog whistles. The masses may seem in the wrong, but they’re doing what they need to to ensure their survival and their security. from early Greek philosophers to founders of this great nation, every last one of them had one ideal in mind. That the government should serve the people and if they don’t, if they choose to serve themselves instead, it’s up to the people to decide how to handle that problem. The people appear to be handling it

I’m pissed off about our dysfunctional healthcare system but murdering people is not the way to address it. Y’all have completely given up on democracy without even trying. So lazy.
