Now we all know why Hitler got away with what he got away with: German citizens were too busy worrying about the failing economy and culture war shit to ever give a damn about the Jews being pushed into segregation ghettos while German democracy crumbled into nationalistic authoritarianism.

They weren't just too busy to worry about it, they loved that they had a group of people to blame and hate and see punished. A Republican politician was quoted saying to his constituents, "the Democrats want to kill you."

It's the inflation man, it's horrible--so what if I have to give up democracy in order to (not actually) solve that pressing problem. Plus, you know, those Other people flooding over the border.

One the one hand, democracy is in the balance. On the other hand, eggs are up 30%.

Decisions, decisions.

You can vote to trash democracy and eggs will go up another 30%. Maybe some wealthy people will toss you a torn up Amazon box to eat.

All while they bitch about not being able to find workers for their cheap fast food.

Somehow in our hyper capitalist economy it is lazy kids to blame and not a failure to pay what the market is demanding.

market capitalism and supply/demand is only good if you are the people on top--it doesn't apply to other people, they need to take whatever you offer.
