My fellow Americans, how did you guys go from “for the people, to the people, by the people” about 250 years ago

To being the only country in the world which dropped a nuclear weapon on civilians and currently being the number one supporter of the most well-documented genocide in the history of human kind?

Where did y’all lose the plot? 🤔

It mostly started under Ronald Reagan. That's when we began this descent into a form of Capitalism that even the original Capitalists would have condemned as a march to Authoritarianism. Bill Clinton was also a big factor in that he made the Democrats move massively to the Right on economics. It was really only a matter of time before the Republicans went full fascist.
