    Why do we give a shit?

    Why is this newsworthy?

    Are we going to hear about his time working in retail soon? I’m sure it will provide deep insight to find out which store he worked at for 3 months, 8 years ago. clearly that’s relevant information.

      I don’t want to be conspiratorial but this helps stop the class awakening all of this was helping bring about. The more we know about him, the more people will identify or not identify with him and then we’re back to culture war being the conversation instead of class war.

          Goes to jail: yes

          Comes out to a reform: I might need some educating on this

          Becomes president: it would be an improvement

            Reform: the part where the apartheid regime was overturned

            I guess if I try to shoehorn it into this analogy, it would be a reform of the healthcare system in America
