      I mean when Trump was shot at, people here had a quite similar sentiment.

      Also all the “violence is not part of american political culture” hurrdurrs of politicians and celebrities afterwards are just completely false. Violence and political violence are an integral part of American culture. I think no other country had as many successful and attempted assassinations of their presidents.

      We’re like the only “first world” country that has no healthcare and we have more billionaires then any other country and soon to be one trillionaire, what do you think?

        more billionaires then any other country

        And a crap load of people living on or under the poverty live working two or three jobs with zero PTO, crippling student debt ratios, sky high childcare costs, no family leave, and on and on. No, you don’t seem well.

          It’s insane that you have people working multiple part time jobs totaling 40+ hr/week but still don’t have employer-subsidized healthcare because employers don’t have to offer it to employees working under a certain number of hours/week. And there are businesses that deliberately offer only part time jobs for that exact reason.

            Capitalism at it’s finest. Working just as intended. Nothing to see here, move along, serfs.

            Oh, look, someone who’s different. Let’s get angry at them instead!
