Now can we talk about who’s breaking the country? Making life unaffordable, giving our jobs to AI, gouging us for a home and destroying our planet?

Liberals are imploding on the eve of a trade war with American Billionaires.
Conservatives are salivating at the chance to take power for those same Billionaires.
