        they don’t mean it. their powerlessness is strategic, as it (almost) always is.

          “I know what other people think so you should trust me instead of listening to those people!”

                could have done it in Congress. could have done a lot of things. Or maybe the system is just bullshit and will never protect us and none of this matters. either way.
