The truth about #RussiaGate is...it was never about Russia. Or Putin. Or Trump. This was all about the Democratic Party and the corporate media being able to deflect and distract from 30 year neoliberal bubble popping in November, 2016 because the working class finally had enough
Sure, they got hoodwinked by a fake populist in Donald Trump--but the underlying resentment, economic desperation, and furiousness at the neoliberal political order in D.C. made millions vote for a plutocrat sleaze-ball pretending to be an everyman champion
and rather than the Dem Party or media do a real deep-dive into the toxic effect of money on politics, the growing jobless economy (particularly in the Rust Belt where Trump won), and the culture of corruption in D.C. and media...and start to work toward reforming it....they
screamed "Russia!" The biggest sin of it all...the #FlintWaterCrisis waged on with no coverage. Continued fracking and theft of people's land and clean water via big oil and eminent domain continued with no coverage. Continued assassination of black men--and police getting off-
continued with no coverage. Chemical leaks (like the one near Houston now) and pipeline explosions and uranium leaking...that destroy communities...continue with no coverage. Water contamination via PFAS continues with no coverage. Continued suicide epidemic of veterans continues
with no coverage. Attacks on transgender and LGBT citizen continue with no coverage. Continued war...for no actual purpose...in Afghanistan continues with no coverage. The list goes ON AND ON AND ON. Is Trump's decisions as president influenced by foreign governments? OF COURSE!
He is still very actively profiting off of his real estate company and violating the Emoluments Clause! That IS something that deserves coverage and accountability...but not 24/7 at the expense of the injustice, corruption, and controlled demolition of the U.S. working class
Since the corporate media...and frankly, if I'm keeping it real...many mainstream independent outlets pushed this cockamamie coverage and obsession for 3 YEARS...it created a major coverage void that @StatusCoup IS HAPPY AND PASSIONATE ABOUT FILLING. Join us if you want REAL
independent media iN-THE-FIELD covering the demolition of the working class, environmental genocide, corporate corruption, police brutality, and the local candidates helping create an exploding progressive movement statuscoup.com/join/
