The only hope i feel for the future of this country is workers unionizing. Its the only leverage the poor and middle class have. We need more unions.

    At this point it's a race to see whether the workers will band together before the magats go full fascist. This decade is about to get really interesting.

    I don't want interesting, I want a decent life, preferably not in slavery to the rich... Is it time to move to Sweden?

    Same thing happening here. 20% of people voted for the fascists last election. Now they're trying to pass a law forcing teachers, doctors, nurses, etc. to report illegal immigrants to the authorities.

    Also, massive cuts to welfare, scrapped environmental goals. The list is expanding
