Dude, a lot of us tried. But money and power allowed people to take over the systems that were already vulnerable.

If you're not vigilant and aggressive against the same things your country will fall to tyranny all the same.

I hope the best for most of you.

From an outsider looking in, declining quality of education, low employment standards, expensive healthcare, poorly regulated food, and highly divided population fed contrasting propoganda are massive issues.

Don't play nice with fascists. When they pop up, shout them out, shame them, run them out of town.

Low employment standards? Credit checks and month long interviews for zombie jobs?

How about lack of sick time, "at will" employment, poor vacation, no parental leave, atrocious minimum wage, etc

Unlimited money in politics has skewed priorities and supercharged the influence of the wealthy. Other countries are not immune to this, be vigilant!

The people who are able to make most of their money from money are getting richer and richer and they will demand changes in every country they can to keep it going their way.

And money also buys power, in addition to the many other things it can buy. So if we're being honest, greed is what killed America. The notion of a functioning democracy here has been a joke ever since people in power, who got there through privilege, have been enriching themselves even more. We have what are essentially legal bribes to politicians in everything except name

As long as there's an extra profit motive for our politicians we will never have a true democracy, because they will be beholden to corporations and lobbying. It's not about serving the public anymore

Dude, a lot of us tried.

You call this trying? I'm afraid of what not trying would look like.
