The American experiment was always a PR campaign for oligarchs in cheap suits. Hedges nails it – democracy here is performance art, where the wealthy write the script and we clap like trained seals at the spectacle. Both red and blue teams serve the same corporate masters, just with different flavor of empty promises.
Second Trump term? More bomb shipments to genocidal regimes, more erosion of what’s left of civil liberties. But let’s not pretend the other side’s hands are clean – they just prefer drone strikes with rainbow flags on them.
This isn’t politics. It’s a rigged game where we’re the house’s mark. The real resistance happens offline, in mutual aid networks and encrypted chats. The system’s collapse isn’t coming – it’s already here. We’re just waiting for the credits to roll.

Sure it does. Just because it failed at the Federal level and at the state level in GOP states doesn’t mean it’s failed everywhere. Counties and Democratic states still practice democracy.
