Today I learned that, since April, the Supreme Court of the United States has sided with Trump in all 15 rulings it has issued on the President’s emergency requests. Of those 15 rulings, the court has only written 3 majority opinions. 7 have come with no explanation at all.

I don’t have to convince anyone here of what’s going on in America, obvs. I just wanted to share because this fact surprised me. I didn’t realize that they weren’t even justifying their decisions, which normally they do.

    It’s a two-pronged strategy.

    Democrats legitimately do not care about their constituents. The role of democrats is that of a ‘ratchet,’ to lock-in any gains the republicans get by making sure there’s no opposition to fight back.

    The average person is an idiot and the 2-party system should reinforce that notion every election.
