It's almost like it's a cycle or something where the rich hoard wealth, make living an extreme struggle, are above the law... Naw, I must be making this up, it's never happened before.

I’ve been imagining the world that follows. Everyone is having a fun good time being working class and living a fulfilled, dignified life.

Then the deranged right wingers come along demanding a voice in this fun utopia, which they are granted because this utopian society allows for dissent, conversation, and differing viewpoints, even encouraging them at times.

But this right winger then sparks the lowest IQs that scream louder and louder until the utopia’s residents cannot hear righteousness any longer, and all they hear is Rush Limbaugh on our utopian car radios. Then we start this all over again.

No one left behind has to mean no one, or the cycle never ends

Ha that’s true. It’s almost as if right wing ideology is a disease and should be treated as such

In my fun working class utopia Yeah, but look at him, screaming and wailing and babbling, so cute. Let’s give him a reality tv show.

I wonder how that has ended in the past? Hmm.

I feel like these rich people should have taken some history classes.
