Isn’t it great to live in a democracy!

Election season is upon us and once again we get to choose which color we prefer, Red or Blue!

The Red Team, funded by its military-industrial-complex investments, will bring us ever more thrills from its forever wars, authoritarian decrees and drummed-up divisive cultural squabbles. (While mindlessly spending us into ever-increasing debt on these projects.)

But the Blue Team, funded by its military-industrial-complex stock profits, will bring us ever more thrills from its forever wars, authoritarian laws and conjured-up cultural squabbles to confuse and divide us. (While gleefully spending billions of our taxpayer dollars on these and other pet projects.)

It’s a pretty tough choice, isn’t it?
