True, but now we can transmit video across the planet to millions of people in a few seconds, that changes a lot. People organizing can completely shut this kind of behavior down, it's the belief it can't and that nothing changes that stops it from happening.
And the size of the lie based media (massive compared to truth based), and gerrymandering, and voter suppression. Those are things that prevent shutting that behavior down too.
It's all based on one thing that is lacking in our country at this moment and it is a serious problem that I hope to see soon remedied... and that is the lack of testicles on any one in authority
It's become crystal clear who stands with the people and who stands with their donors, hasn't it?
And who will bend over for trump and not cry out for Vaseline
