    With much of the world on lockdown, the coronavirus pandemic has chipped away at individual liberties everywhere. In more places, however, it is also being used as an excuse to weaken democratic institutions and oversight—an authoritarian slide that could endure once the current health emergency subsides.

    Almost 20 years later we have the patriot act. Obama took it from bush and doubled down on it. Trump now has the ball.

    The issues isn't who is in power, but why have we allowed these offices to become so powerful?
    We actually need to get rid of the president. Congress and local government drop the ball because they can.

    The people are distracted by the never ending show of who will be our next president. We need to focus on fixing shit not cults of personality

    Imagine if Mitch, Nancy, and Chuck had to take responsibility for being corrupt pieces of shit
