The Police Have A Dark Money Slush Fund

What do we do when an increasingly small number of people make the laws to insulate and protect themselves, to allow them to manipulate, buy, or jail an entire population at will? We allow them to give themselves the tools to own and run our sham forced 2 party system, own the entire judicial, legislative, and executive branches, the 4th estate, local and state cops, the military and mercenary corps, housing, SPACE, for fucks sake, while forcing guns and police state mentality into every facet of life. They're literally stealing money and time from 99% of Americans, threatening us all to go along, or even help them do it, or get fucked.  I can't understand the "but fascism! It can get so much worse!" mentality. For who? The thousands of people who have died/will die at the hands of law enforcement? The thousands of people that have died at Riker's Island and other jails while waiting for a trial, who are punished by the system because they exercised their right to not take a plea deal?  The countless people who die of treatable diseases and conditions simply because they don't have adequate or ANY health care? The unknown number of people who are harassed into nonexistence until they die because they don't have a roof over their head?  Those who have died or suffered from domestic or gun violence?  The people who will prematurely die because the stress of trying to stay afloat in this country, as every fucking day they know they and their family are one unexpected financial strain away from losing their home? What the fuck do you think it is we live under? What you're telling the rest of us is it hasn't really inconvenienced you yet, so let's keep doing what we've been doing until it does. Four years ago and for the past 4 decades it was, "but abortion!? You better vote blue or you'll be controlled by insane people who believe their god wants to take away your bodily autonomy!"  How'd putting that off for another day work out for you, all of us?  Oh, you live in a blue state, so it's not that big of a problem for you?  But it might be if Genocide Joe doesn't win?  Go fuck yourself, full of shit liberal pussy, you're the fucking problem.

The longer we wait to change course, the longer and harder the struggle will be, even for your and my privileged asses, but especially for already marginalized people who have no choice but to live in a red state (it's really expensive and hard to move, if you're unaware). COVID gave (and is still giving) them their last very absurd hurrah and it wasn't enough, because it's never enough.  These people and their corporate entities are dangerous, severe addicts with no one to stop them or hold them accountable since the moderates and the left play the same fucking game, only with rainbow pins on their lapels. That's the inevitability of capitalism, it's coded in the theory, it's kind of the entire fucking point. It's long past time to take it all back from them and make sure it can never happen again, isn't it?  Trust me, I'm guilty of suffering from mom brain, wanting to believe and will it into existence that the good guys out number the terrible people and will prevail, but wanting it doesn't keep literal psychopaths from gobbling up everything and anything they want and destroying, then erasing the things that they don't want/like (see Palestine, where an extremely unlikable right-wing extremist and his lobbyists are holding the entire US govt hostage, apparently, supposedly).  We raised our kids right, they are leading the way, and they deserve to have a chance. They're willing to do what it takes, it's our obligation to support them and let them take the lead since we didn't do enough to keep the train on the tracks. It's long past time to stop voting for people who don't give a fuck about the future because they're so old they know they won't be alive to see it, and their children and grandchildren are privileged enough they will be insulated from the destruction they've caused.

It's long past time to solidify demands, promote and support a general strike.
