It’s a very weird time…like it seems that society is ready to turn on the robber barons but at the same point, half the people

Most pissed off at the current situation want to curl up at the feet of those same robber barons under the guise of authoritarianism.

“Fuck Bezos! The rich are destroying us!”
*watches the oil companies gouge everyone*
“Fuck the Democrats, we want Trump!!!”

The cognitive dissonance is staggering.
