nostr:npub1hufrg2g8x7yrxv0hlkjes2dv7qpcqg4y6v0tadfvqyuav45ercqsct252d I agree. Behind Trump and his rise to power stand economic elites who are ultimately responsible for what's happening and pulling the strings.

"These viewpoints are dangerous and the only way to deal with them is to politically disempower them. They will never compromise because they believe they are enacting God’s will. A lot of people thought that abortion rights were a settled controversy after Roe v. Wade but the far right never accepted it."
