Lets be honest - the plan was an overreach. This had to pass through congress. So SC is not wrong.

But it couldn't pass through congress because of lobbying. Which was bribery made legal by SC. Which was a very controversial decision. But if Roe could be overturned, we should focus on getting Citizen United overturned. And America will be great again.

But for that US should be united. And that will not happen because all the oligarchs domestic and abroad make sure of that and they lobby secretly and hard. You have Saudis, Chinese buying corporations influencing US decision making. You have Russian interference. European banks also service these oligarchs, so its in their interest too. Now other countries with oligarchs are jumping in too. And they put smokes and mirrors in front of you to keep you off from the real goal - creating issues where there should be none. To keep America divided.

So its a long attrition based slug war which can only be fought when we love our fellow Americans and stop listening to hate everywhere around us. And realize that all politicians are evil, so you have to keep them pressed. They will not share power, we the people have to be strong and take the power from them.

No one can destroy US. Only US can destroy US.

This is the most lukewarm, wishy washy, "enlightened centrist" shit I have ever read. Like,

So its a long attrition based slug war which can only be fought when we love our fellow Americans and stop listening to hate everywhere around us.

???

What are you fucking talking about? This is some next level naivety.

The two party system sucks ass and causes everyone to turn their brains off. "Enlightened Centrism" is just a meme aimed at ridiculing people who think for themselves instead of bowing to one party or the other. You need to hate half the country so that you don't all gang up on the rich.
