That’s what happens when you let people accumulate too much capital.
Capital = power
Should be a 100% wealth tax rate beyond a few hundred million. No individual should have billions of dollars in unelected, unaccountable power. And no one earns those kind of sums either.
Not like the truth matters though. Oligarchs like Musk own this fucking place and both parties have spent half a century dismantling any possible means of reigning in their power over our government, our media, and us.
I don’t want Trump to be assassinated.
I want him to die of a heart attack on the toilet or in prison, though I doubt the second one is possible because rich asshole.
Assassinations make martyrs. I want his base to get tired of worshipping a feeble old man and move on.
What I DON’T want is him being elevated as the Republican mascot on t-shirts and signs as the defacto symbol of their idiocy for the rest of MY life. When this cycle is over, I really don’t want to have to see his orange clown asshole face again, let alone as the newest iteration of the confederate battle/don’t tread on me flag they wave around town to be annoying for the next century.
Let him be forgotten and fade into obscurity. It’s what he wouldn’t want the most.
