Elissa Slotkin: "Trump has conducted military operations in 9 places in 15 months. That's more than any President in history. He's shown that he is willing to use force. You can have a debate on if that's a good thing or a bad thing."

Weil es keine Neiddebatte ist, sondern eine um Ungerechtigkeit und Egoismus. Der #Kapitalfaschismus ist das Problem, der für Ablenkung sorgt und die Menschen zum nach unten treten animiert, statt nach oben zu schauen. Und sogar Bürgergeldbezieher können noch auf Flüchtlinge schimpfen. Alles gewollt.
