    I’m handwaving away the significance of the event because an ultra-capitalist who wants to make the healthcare system even more unfair just got elected president and, again, corporations are legally required to put profits over people.

    Do you think this will suddenly make Trump sit up and say, “congress needs to make things more fair for the poor and I will sign that law?” Because that is literally what it would require.

    Jesus Christ, how do you people not understand how capitalism works when you’ve spent all your lives in the system? Also, how do you not understand that Trump got elected president and congress is now majority Republican?

    I know I should just give up and stop explaining how capitalism works to people, but this is really bugging me.
