Cithzens United was the crucifix Christofascists drove through democracy. bsky.app/profile/mind...
Socialists and communists did not destroy 249 years of Constitutional democracy.
In 2010 the GOP passed "Citizens United", their most deceptively named ruse since Fox "news", unleashing unregulated corporate greed.
And the biggest billionaire feeding frenzy in history.
