America isn’t being governed — it’s being managed like a failing casino.
The lights are still on, the music still plays, but behind the curtain everything’s on fire and the pit bosses are stuffing chips into their jackets.
Congress?
They’re not lawmakers — they’re crisis sommeliers, pairing every national emergency with a fresh excuse and a donor-approved talking point.
This administration?
They treat the country like it’s a loyalty program.
Rewards for the rich.
Penalties for the poor.
And the rest of us are just waiting on hold for customer service while the nation crumbles in the background.
Look at their track record:
– They froze SNAP like it was some optional luxury instead of the difference between groceries and starvation.
– They let millions go without childcare, then acted shocked when people couldn’t afford to show up to work like the economy runs on vibes.
– They slashed disaster preparedness, then blamed the weather when communities drowned, burned, collapsed, or starved.
– They turned Border Patrol into political theater, leaving asylum seekers, border communities, and taxpayers screwed at the same time.
– They kneecapped worker protections, then told everyone to “tough it out” as if rent accepts courage as payment.
– They used the DOJ as a personal dry-cleaning service, bleaching every scandal until the tags fell off.
– They turned foreign policy into an auction, treating world leaders like bidders at an estate sale where America is the estate.
And the Supreme Court?
Oh, they sprinted off the deep end.
They’ve become the nation’s reverse fairy godmother — everything they touch turns into fewer rights, more suffering, and a new legal theory even they can’t explain without a séance.
Meanwhile Congress is out here acting like hall monitors during the apocalypse.
They “express concern,” hold a hearing, send a stern letter, and then go on recess for six weeks while the country bleeds through the bandages.
This isn’t a government.
It’s a moral Ponzi scheme.
The people invest hope, trust, tax dollars —
and the political class pays it out to everyone except the people it belongs to.
They failed us at the border.
They failed us on food security.
They failed us on basic human dignity.
They failed us on accountability.
They failed us on economic survival.
They failed us everywhere, consistently, enthusiastically, and with snacks.
And through it all, they keep looking shocked — shocked — that the public is angry.
We’re angry because we were promised a republic
and handed a broken vending machine that eats our money and blames us for shaking it.
But here’s the twist Washington didn’t factor in:
The American people don’t quit.
We adapt.
We organize.
We remember.
If the three branches want to keep operating like a cartel, that’s their choice.
But cartels fall.
Empires crack.
And governments stop being governments the moment the governed decide they’re done being played.
We’re done.
We’re awake.
And we’re not going anywhere.
This time, it won’t be forgotten.
It won’t be forgiven.
And it sure as hell won’t be ignored.
