That's what 60+ years of fascism-directed conservative politics distributed by the likes of Fox News, systematic defunding of public education, and an almost complete halt in wage increases so 90% of the population no longer has any discretionary income and is essentially forced to work paycheck to paycheck has given us. It's working exactly as intended.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
-President Lyndon B. Johnson

, systematic defending of public education

Going to assume you meant "defunding of public education", heh.

Damn autocorrect, it was expanded saying now it can fix grammar and stuff beyond just spelling, but then it completely ignores that same stuff if it's close enough. Technically I guess that sentence still made sense, and it's not smart enough to discern context.

They CLAIMED AI fixes this. Of course it's a lie.

The US is an experiment in how much the people will take before they actually start a revolution. Turns out they take it all and they won't start a revolution ever.

To be clear, those conservative politics are shared by both parties. How often do you see Blue Dig Democrats extolling Clinton for balancing the budget (by cutting welfare) or Biden for securing the border (by locking more migrants in cages)

I never tried to claim the Democrats haven't followed right behind the Republicans as they marched their happy asses straight towards fascism.
