Every one of you guys is turning into crazed lunatics. This has been a long and stressful election season, and you're now calling for not only Biden to institute facism, but also to arrest citizens who haven't been convicted of any crime, to be taken to a fake predetermined trial off the books.

Man, I can't wait until election season is over.

The US and probably the entire world would improve for everyone in a very short time frame if American billionaires were rounded up and arrested. These people are criminals. They have captured the republic and turned it into their casino, where the taxpayer subsidizes their losses. They are making the planet unlivable.

If you think the status quo is okay, you are not paying attention.

I'm not saying what they're doing is morally ok. I'm saying they aren't criminals. For that word implys that what they have done

  1. Was illegal

And

  1. They've been convicted of a crime.

Donald Trump is a 34X criminal. Thats factually accurate.

Jeff Bezos is not. Because he hasn't been convicted of anything.

You can't just use words against people you don't like and expect it to mean anything.

A better use of your vernacular would be:

"Billionaires are unempathetic, labor exploiting, psychopaths who are by far the leading cause of climate change, but will never personally feel the effects of their actions.

THAT would all be factually true. But also legal. So, again, they aren't criminals. They've rigged the system so they aren't breaking any laws by doing terrible things. That's by design.
