    • People surrender enormous amounts of personal autonomy to their bosses, their landlords, and their political leadership

    • Bosses, landlords, and political leaders pool all their power under a Unitary Executive position with entirely unchecked authority

    • Chief executive abuses the office

    • New chief executive abuses the office

    • Even newer chief executive abuses the office

    • The latest chief executive abuses the office

    Some dummy with a sign “It’s not supposed to be like this!”

    God damn, read a fucking book. For every moment you’ve been alive it has been like this.

        Yes, the people are supposed to hold politicians accountable. This attitude of ‘I don’t want to have to pay attention to politics’ from liberals is fucking wild. This is exactly why they don’t know the Dems were supporting most of the same Trump policies, but quietly.

        Just go back to brunch.
