While I agree it's a big divide, I do have to wonder how many of those who support trump understand what an oligarchy means to them personally.

To paraphrase George Carlin: You know how stupid the average American is? Half of them are even stupider.

Frankly, I fear our ignorant are being led by sciolists driven by greed. As such, I (an atheist) think the USA's great divide has become a carrot of self aggrandisement being chased at the cost of ever diminishing morality.

@rbreich I'd word it as "politics versus people".

@rbreich as a american, you think that even with the lunatic gone, your country can have a real democracy?

@rbreich

@rbreich given that you have almost 300k followers here on community owned social media, would it be possible to make the posts here and the screenshots on Bluesky?

Or even better, just bridge your account to Bluesky by following the @bsky.brid.gy account.

@rbreich do you have alt text for that?

@rbreich I feel like the biggest divide is between the haves and the have-nots. And that divide is growing ever wider.
