In America.

A democracy of which a full 1/3 of its Supreme Court was placed by someone who lost the popular vote not once but twice is not a democracy. And that's to say nothing of 2 others placed by someone who *won* by 500 votes in a state that just so happened to be governed by his brother. So that's where we are today with this worthless group of hacks about whom I guess we're not even pretending to be upset are involved in historic money grabs from outside interests/billionaire "friends". This is no longer the highest court in the land restrained by non-partisan skepticism, this is literally the equivalent of a mafia lawyer for the most extremist right-wing faction in our nation's history. Any law, ANY law, or any election, ANY election that Republicans don't like will immediately get kicked over to the "Supreme Court" who will do their duty and deliver whatever this faction of idiocy wants. People think I'm joking when I saw that they'll pass a law making it illegal to tax millionaires, but check back in after about a year and see how funny it is. With what we're seeing now from these people are you really going to be surprised when Trump wins his 5th term despite losing by 30M votes? 

Thanks, Democrats who voted for Nader in 2000 to "stick it to Clinton!"

Thanks, "left-wing leaning media" who insisted on portraying Trump & Hillary as the exact same racehorse for rating$$$$.

Thanks, Democrats in 2016 who juuuuuuuuust couldn't vote for Hillary because hey, they're all the same, right? Hey, at least Trump's new & exciting, right? And these things don't really matter, right?

I recorded this demo (never got actually recorded by Hayday funk you very much) the night after Obama won the presidency, and I was relieved to think that in spite of our best efforts we'd stumbled out of the Bush years and were righting the ship again; 15 years was all it took to turn into a full-blown parody.
