[QUOTE="Garraty_47, post: 1178463, member: 1547"] It's been a team effort. Just recently... Bush gave us the laughably named "Patriot Act". Obama expanded on it, including suspending habeas corpus. Trump continued pushing the envelope on an already bloated executive authority. Biden tried to set up a 'ministry of truth' to monitor and police online speech. Now Trump is once again using the powers he inherited to wipe his ass with the bill of rights. The persecution of Julian Assange, as an example, spanned administrations; the crackdown on whistleblowers and journalists has only accelerated no matter which party is in power. If wall street or Big Business needs to be bailed out the treasury is opened with hardly a question but if people are struggling they're out of fucking luck and thanks to our predatory for-profit health "care" system it's almost inevitable that people are going to struggle sooner or later. Neither of the duopoly parties have any interest in addressing this and other fundamental flaws in the status quo. The democrats and republicans are two wings on the same vulture. [/QUOTE]
