Just a reminder that less than a week before Trump took office, Fox posted a compilation video of cars running into protestors.

The right wing part of the united states has always been a shitfest. In the 60s they lynched black people because they wanted equal treatment.

We've always had garbage people but the problem is unfettered capitalism literally rewards narcissistic sociopathic behavior and we for some reason decided to make that the dominant system. Which means the worst amongst us have the most power and resources and help set the tone.
