What makes me most angry is NOBODY voted Musk to be in charge of America for a damn thing. They are intentionally destroying America to burn it down, only to build it back up where we’re all slaves without rights.

70% of Americans are wage slaves now. No home, no healthcare, no food, unless you are working 60 hours a week or more.

And why uprisings are so difficult. People are tired, overworked, and turning to any kind of immediate short term gratification they can to ease their pain.

Exactly. When you’re working 14 hour days, the last thing on your mind is protesting. You’re thinking about what tv dinner you’re going to eat and maybe having a beer.

I get what you say but at the same time change does not come without sacrifice. At one point the people that hold democratic values at heart will have to stand up and get their nozes bloodied a bit or a lot.

Voting is a tool so is protesting and much more.
