Not to boths sides it or whatever but why do they both use this rhetoric when the other guy is in office? During the height of the pandemic when shelves were empty a lot of people were like "this is what america would look like under socialism" but like my dude, this is what it's like NOW.

But also fuck both sides. Joe is just as much of a loser as Donald.

That was the first thought that crossed my mind and all I could think thereafter was, "My god, they really are blue MAGA".

I see way too many of these on Instagram. My brother in Christ, you are literally living in the Mecca of capitalism, this is what your system looks like.

To further expand on this, it also cracks me up when people say "communism sounds good on paper but it will never work". Like motherfucker, capitalism doesn't even make sense on paper but we doing it, aren't we? Someone explain unlimited growth with limited resources to me please.

Can you explain what "Mecca of capitalism" implies? I don't understand the metaphor.
