The face eating leopards have always been there but since citizens united and the judges that made the ruling they’ve had an outsized influence on our political process.
Like I don’t think a trump victory was ever possible without citizens united taking the legal hands off the press steering wheels. The corruption of the judicial system for 50 some odd years is the fault of older conservatives and has driven us to this moment. Trump is a car crash for sure, but at its core is 50 years of drunken corruption and political malpractice.
