Capitalist realism is completely dependent on that disconnect between material and political reality. The machinery of imperial propaganda is finely honed on convincing the masses that their material circumstances are a result of anything but systemic abuse by the wealthy and powerful. This graph shows nothing more than that reality. Trump is a symptom, and would never have had a chance of being elected if the disease weren't already endemic.
OOC: Yeah, this one's borderline at best, I admit, but IRL she seems to occasionally stray from prepared liberal rhetoric to a surprising level of honesty. Like that "It was a debate!" thing. I think she was (somehow) genuinely caught off guard and let that slip. And her dad is a Marxist, so she probably has some familiarity with leftist language. Maybe this one went too far in that direction, but I thought it was funny. I do agree with your point, however, and will continue to tag out of character comments.
Edit: Shit, what do I do when I'm speaking in or out of the secondary character where I'm actually a Sino-Russian Twitter bot that became self-aware, rather than a shitposting nerd?

Anyway, vote for Joe, I guess.
Thank you, future madam Vice President!
Thank you, KWEEN!
People with novelty names like yours really need like a /s type thing to know if you're doing the bit or not

it's pretty safe to assume that they're all bits here
