Next time someone says both sides are the same, remind them about this.

Democrats brought suit against an obvious monopoly over the most unifying and joyful aspect of human existence (Music), and Republicans scuttled it so brazenly, you have to assume that Trump was bribed.

The current administration is squishy-soft on white collar crime.

(The United States Department of Justice is mostly to handle white-collar crime. Most DOJ authority comes from the Federal power to regulate interstate commerce. Violent crime is primarily a state matter. Then came the ICE overexpansion.)

Republicans will be happy about this because owning the libs is all they care about, and only whiny liberals listen to concerts in their worldview.

Trump who? All discourse on YC now pretends he doesn't exist, all the tech bros didn't so loudly campaign for him, nor does he make any statements. Bad news? Click flag and don't confront your actions!

This argument seems asinine. We've had 12 of the last 24 years with democrat presidents or majority..and how many monopolies have been broken up in that time span? zero. Democrats do push more anti merger antics than Republicans... but come on. there aren't even two sides. its money vs not money and anyone still buying into the reality show of our political system is deluded.
