    He mad. And I am here for it. It’s about time we started getting mad at what these assholes are doing to democracy. It’s arguably long overdue. We’ve given up far too much ground.

      Life gave him lemons. Seems like he’s ready to make life take the lemons back.

          This (the audio, which is from Portal 2) is what I’m referencing by the way. I like that one too though!

    “Extraordinary” is a wild claim here. When you’re elected with an actual mandate, it stands as obvious that previous regime damage is a high priority for being undone.

    We’re only seeing the start of this transition, and so far it seems to be going in a good direction. Here’s hoping his government does what he’s saying and actually builds a media to serve the country rather than just himself. It seems like that is most likely the case, which is awesome!

    If he’s giving a voice to the opposition, and the opposition built the state media, doesn’t he technically need to leave it alone?

    A bad joke. I hope that he does what he says he wants to do, and importantly, that he’s able to do it.
