> the government has been for sale for a long time The government has been under significant influence of corporations for a long time: this is true. But now bribes are being accepted unabashedly. Presumably, hopefully, this won't last beyond the current administration. To equate the two is dishonest.

      Nobody in these comments has said that. You keep arguing against something that isn't being said here.

        > what they're saying is that it has gotten so bad now that the crimes are being committed constantly and in the open with no fear or worry that anything bad will ever happen. this is all false and coming from your own echochamber. it has always been this way, just now you read to much shit on your social media feed and getting all upset how sky is falling, democracy is dying, shit real bad now…

        You can make all sorts of hilariously wrong assumptions about me all you want, but i won't entertain them. I'm not on the team you think I'm on. My media diet isn't what you think it is. You're reading an awful lot into what i did actually say, and i think it's pretty revealing.
