What if I told you live streaming the execution wasn't about the money? The regime will claw money wherever they want.

It's about power, humiliation, dehumanization, and desensitization.

It's also a test. Can we get away with publicly executing people? They seem to have done it so far, cops and ICE have done it for a while.

It won't stop at public execution of death row inmates. The Nazi train is full steam ahead, and there will be a lot more death, a lot more suffering, and a lot of people enjoying every fucking second of it. Why? Because that's the only thing they enjoy. Its a disease that is only curable one way.

    And the scary part?

    People who personally knew him for a long time said "DO NOT VOTE FOR HIM, HE IS SHIT". And people still voted for him

    Anyone reading regional northeast news, knew he was a shit for decades.

    Somehow paying for an insipid “reality” show to rehabilitate his image worked. What does that say about our fellow citizens?

    The reason is irrelevant. That it’s happening at all is abhorrent. And I’d imagine it’s about all of the things.

    Besides. It can be both. Seeing as how money = power = money.
