    Most of them aren’t fine with the status quo, but they’re too poor and distracted to really do anything. We’re really good at the whole bread and circus thing.

    The ones with money and means are too busy making more money than they ever have in their entire lives to care.

      Not just poor or distracted… Is a fascist state, fear and police control are real. You want to accidentally be mistaken for an immigrant and sent to Honduras? How about jail for 5 years for throwing a firecracker at a protest because it’s “terrorism”?
