Nuremberg-style trials for every single person working under this administration is obviously the base minimum to start to get a handle on this. Anyone who is not pushing for that is not being serious about tackling America's problems. Then what? Extreme anti-trust enforcement and implement wealth caps to prevent the harm from recurring and hope most of the population eventually comes back to planet Earth?
- spencerflem 9mo agoI agree, sadly we do not have any leadership pushing for this yet.
- spwa4 9mo agoOh, that's easy. You see people vote like this if they don't advance economically. So what you need is to create a decade or so of economic advancement for >50% of the US. If that doesn't happen, odds are that even if a democrat president gets elected, they won't be much better. This is still the fallout of the GFC, of the decision to bail out the banks back then. I know that sounds incredible, and I would have bitten off the head of anyone claiming this when I was 20 ... but it's how the world works.

I felt scammed when I read about it and my country wasn't even very heavily affected by the crisis (I was a wee lad back then though).
