And will things magically be better? Well, better, yes, good, no. First, it takes a lot of time to undo the harm fascists have done. And second, our oligarchs would still be in control, pushing for their needs above ours.

…which is why I say we’re pretty fucked. But that’s what needs to happen, anyway.
