NP but Meryl Streep's Anti-Trump Golden Globe Acceptance Speech

[ish mailian]

If by us you mean the citizens and residents of the USA, we didn't get
into this mess, this horrible mess, with Trump & Co. sitting at the
top of it by thinking that the Democrats, and their Neoliberalism,
their coziness with the Banksters, their infatuation with themselves
and their glamorous friends in Hollywood, were or are iny meaningful
way different, better than Trump and his gang.

Trump said things are bad.
Hillary said things are good and getting better.

There's a meaningful difference.

And Hollywood? They are as profiteers.
