Fair is fair. I have no doubt we're going to get what's coming to us as well - for being
on the whole collectively self absorbed, entitled, uninvolved in the political process and downright stupid and docile. The current
outbreak of nepo-babies and Dunning Kruger Frat Boyz at the helm is a direct result in the dumbing down of the
citizenry and the normalization of nitwits like Reagan and Dubya. 54% of US adults have a literacy below a 6th grade level. This cake took almost 50 years to bake and the republicans have served it to us.
