But corporations are people, my friend, and people have freedom of speech! and oh look, would you look here, money is speech … ugh this country is a farce.

Things are rough in the US but they could get worse. Or better. It depends on whether or not people vote in every single election. Apathy breeds authoritarian regimes. Saying the country is a farce breeds apathy.
