It depends on how you define “the USA”. If you mean the people of this country, then absolutely they are working against us. If you mean the people with loads and loads of money, then no, they are working as hard as they fucking can for them.

From the outside it really seems that a large amount of the USA administration is actively working against the USA’s interests. Which sounds weird.

It’s worth noting that the second definition is the only “real” USA.

It’s seems that way from the inside, too.

“The administration “ usually means the Executive Branch, the FCC, which in this case is trying to do a good thing. Net neutrality has long been supported by a majority of voters, and has been active on party lines: Democrat majority is trying to do the right thing for their constituents
In this case corporations affected sued to overturn and the court, the Judicial Branch, issued a stay of enforcement until the final ruling.
This is very much a problem of corporations having too much say, and one of the parties protecting corporations over citizens

I mean, if you vote for the GOP their platform is literally “me doing less work is good for you.”
Imagine if you hired ANY professional under those terms “hi, yeah I’m Jack, the plumber. Listen, you don’t want another bathroom, you want fewer bathrooms. Can’t have the whole house smelling like shit can we? You understand.”

You forgot to add:
“Oh, btw your neighbor dresses kind of funny. Are you sure your family is safe with them Nextdoor?”

It’s absolutely true, the republikkkan party is all about licking the boots of the corporations and shitting on the poor. The only helpful things they do is to make the ultra rich richer. It’s too bad their base is brainwashed and too stupid to see it. I work with a clown and he keeps bringing up all the bad shit the republicans do and blames the democrats for it. It’s wild. I said to him you do realize that it’s the republicans that did that, not the democrats right? He looked at me and said I’m an idiot for believing that. I showed him the proof and he said I was making it up. You can’t even talk to these people anymore.

It is weird to observe from the inside as well.

The GOP is doing everything it can to fuck up our government in favor of corporate and foreign interests: They are literally selling America out for a quick buck while all their rich asshole friends enjoy obscene wealth.
