    In the 1930s prescott bush and all his other wall street legacy family robber barron buddies got together and propositioned one of the most decorated generals in US history, Smedly Butler to lead their coup attempt and overthrow the FDR administration and impose a fascist nazi style regime where the intersection of wall street and military industrial power would be in complete control of the government and media. These ultra wealthy industrialists were all big supporters of adolf hitler and even hosted a rally for him in Maddison square garden. Butler played along with their scheme until the last minute when he went to the house unamerican activities committee and testified against their plot. HUAC deemed his testimony credible but did nothing to punish those who devised the coup. Most likely because they were in their pockets.

    Now fast forward 90 some years and the son and grandson of the coup’s main architect were both sitting presidents and if you’re paying attention you can clearly see that wall street military and prison industry profiteers own our politicians and are the ones who have the ultimate say in maters of legislation and policy. They own all the media outlets and since Reagan and Bush sr. both vetoed attempts to legislate fairness in media laws that were standard practice up until 1987 their news outlets just spew right wing corporatist(a synonym for fascism) propaganda and it is an objective fact that there is now no left party in the American political landscape.

    Wake up, you don’t know what youre talking about. The main reason it failed is because the president has no real power and is nothing more than a puppet owned by a group of war mongering psychopaths who spend more on weekend vacations than you could earn in a dozen consecutive lifetimes

      You… Really love grandatanding, huh?

      I ask you to re-research the subject and you go into this putin-esqe historical diatribe about power in the United States. Seek help brother.

      The president has never had much power, that’s kinda the whole point of our system of government you fucking rube. I’ll save you some trouble, the courts blocked him at every turn. Not a fan of the inaction of the Democrats but call a spade a spade, my guy - they tried.

        Whats “Grandatanding”?

        Biden could have attempted using executive order to legislate student loan debt relief but he didn’t even make an attempt

        You have nothing to say about the fact that there is no left party in the US political landscape only a far right and a center right pretending to be left you only want to make excuses for the gerontocracy and pretend that they are making any progress when they are making absolutely no meaningful progress whatsoever.

        You’re just another propagandized fool who believes what billionaire news outlets, all owned by the same financial interests as the extreme far right news outlets, tell you to believe

          I have nothing to say about those other things because I’m not an insufferable twat that is CONSTANTLY driving the conversation to that subject (your comment history dude, wtf?)

          And so let me get this straight, because I don’t address the extra unrelated bullshit YOU brought up, you’re not willing to even entertain another side? Or better yet, you certainly didn’t re-research the subject.

          Your moronic idea with executive orders proves you know so little about this subject and also concerns me I’ve been wasting my time speaking to a teenager.

          You just love logical fallacies, they permiate your comments. Strawman, red herrings, no true Scotsman, and false dichotomies. C’mon dude, if you’re going to be insufferable, at least be a good debater.
