Roberts didn’t just strip political power from ordinary people—he handed it to billionaires. His decisive vote in 2010’s Citizens United v. FEC lifted restrictions on political spending. Political spending by billionaires have increased 160-fold.

This is all John Roberts’ fault Trump owes his corrupt and abusive reign to one man.
