The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

The hyper normalization of fascism has outstripped the public’s ability to fully see the scope of the damage and that in part has always been the point of the fascist weaponized unreality state.
