Self inflicted oppression.
Can we stop the whole SJW shit now, this is what it did.
No, a combination of white supremacists, self-serving billionaires, religious extremists, and useful idiots did this.
That's just an argument that democracy cant work. Because voyers are too feeble minded to discern the wheat from the chaff.
I'd give this some credence if it was a "fool me once" but that's not what this is.
If voters are gullible fools that we can be easily misled then that does explain why we're here and why it can never be anything else.
As Orwell opined in an essay in 1937, democracies always tend to fascism if times are tough. Even relatively tough, with the poorest American being better off then the poorest 50% of the planet.
