It reflects on how countless friendships have been tethered and torn apart by the demands of jobs in far-off cities, and how cherished relationships have unraveled amidst heated discussions. Unnoticed, we drift further from the people around us, losing ourselves in a world of religious, caste-based, and ideological divides, with tweets, memes, reels, and the relentless quest for virality.

Codrin Ștefănescu a lămurit deja dilemele pricinuite oamenilor onești de abuzurile puterii PSD. «Pentru că putem» e, din acest punct de vedere, o lozincă mult mai aproape de natura adevărată a partidului decât «Îndrăznește să crezi». «Pentru că putem» e o sinteză a bunului-plac și a dispreţului pentru lege, pentru normalitate și pentru respiraţia europeană a ţării. De ce păstraţi penali în funcţii publice? Pentru că putem.
