Money wins campaigns. Everyone knows that, except you I guess. Individual contributions will never come close to matching corporation contributions.

The recent USSC decision does nothing in terms of allowing campaign contributions. It only allows corporations to speak, publish, or broadcast themselves.

The SC overturned laws over 100 years old enacted to protect our freedom.

The Supreme Court overturned laws directly infringing on freedom and constitutional rights.

It was settled law

It was in direct contradiction to the words of the 1st amendment.

If you like having a country run by corporatations instead of people, then you will get your wish. That is what will happen.

Nonsense.

And, by the way, that is the proper definition of fascism.

No it isn't. Corporatism is more the rule over corporations (defined more broadly than the term is normally used), it isn't the rule by corporations. Companies are subject to the whims of the fascist rulers and their ministries they aren't the rulers themselves or the "power behind the throne".
