Under Donald Trump and his band of swamp thieves, it will. There are no guardrails this time. This was the most important election of our lifetime and I'm 99% sure Trump hacked the system with the info given to him by Tina who gave it to Elon. There's no way he won all swing states. No way.
So many people in the USA don't care as they suppose some sort of undemocratic utopia is just around the corner, never mind the one they suppose will arrive is entirely inconsistent with the one their fellows suppose will arrive. It's our new Age of Ignorance, perhaps the dawning of a new Dark Age.
People who don’t vote wouldn’t notice it was gone until someone targeted them and they were jailed for complaining (or killed). People need to fucking pay attention to politics, even when it’s exhausting.
South Korea shows the world how America will look like after Trump’s takes reign next month.
One has to wonder if President Yoon was emboldened to take such drastic measures under the auspices of the incoming presidency of Trump and his militant like rhetoric and posturing.
If the visions and nightmares I’ve had since March of 1988 continue to come true (100% accurate so far) humanity will go extinct before the end of the year 2030.
Apparently America was great when native Americans were being slaughtered, blacks enslaved and women were confined and voiceless. Not a lot of democracy in those days so.
It will take strength of character by the people of the United States to survive this current threat. I am not sure we have that collective strength. I am sure that many do not have the intellect required to understand the consequence of what is underway.
That’s something some oligarchs would wish for. They use organizations, governments, and existing societal structures. They look for corrupt channels to infiltrate them. It works wonderfully worldwide. 🤷🏻♂️
Yes indeed - a reason that prompted Benjamin Franklin's remark.
A lot of the hollowing out of our institutions, is facilitated by the fact that so much of our System has foundational or important "gentlemen's agreements and conventions", what a nightmare - so much for that.
Democracy is fragile and delicate. Held together by precedent and paper. Both of which can easily be erased and ripped by anyone right in front of your face… the world is changing in front of us.

The good news is he’s easily manipulated.
A digital Dark Age is almost upon us 😕

shades of things to come

Context matters.

Too hungry to think further right this minute
Except that those that say 'both sides are the same' always still seem to vote for one side in particular for some weird reason.
One side are Republicans pretending to be Socialists, while the other are Nazis pretending to be Republicans.
