Opened your mouth and swallowed it all without even bothering to chew. And now he has the money, the power, and the privilege, and you’ve got squat. And he’s systematically breaking and destroying everything you depend upon.

Nobody bothered to stop and think about what happens AFTER you “blow it all up” and/or “burn it all down”.

What happens after that is - YOU still have to live in the ashes and the rubble that your fever dreams wanted so badly, and created. You didn’t just hurt those “damn libruls.” You hurt yourselves.

And you hurt YOURSELVES most of all.
