“unelected”
he got up to stage and said he bought the fascist candidate. lots of people saw that and said “that’s OK, I’ll still vote red” and even more people saw that and said “that’s OK, I’ll still not vote”. around 160 million people saw this and were OK with it. yeah he wasn’t elected, but the “dictator on day one” was.
This right here.
They had a website for two years with a detailed plan. Project 2025 was widely known an people either voted for it or stayed at home. The dildo of consequences, as they say…
A good run? 2 years of actually peace since the us existenz is your benchmark for a good run?
Did we all forget the elected one put the unelected one in power?
Points at SCOTUS. Electoral College. Winner-Takes-All underrepresentation. 100 years legal slavery, 100 years racial segregation. 150 years gendered voting rights.
we had a good run
Did you, though?
“Democracy”
Capitalism’s natural and unavoidable end stage.
I like to blame capitalism for everything, too, but this has nothing to do with capitalism. Just the US Democracy not being a Democracy
Capitalism worsens the principal agent problem of representative democracy because it’s trivial to bribe representatives, especially now.
Ah yes the world richest man and a billionaire president have no financial motives for overthrowing the US gov. Definitely not the fault of the greedy capitalist system
By world richest man you mean Putin or Bin Salman?
Pick one it’ll probably be correct anyway
Yes, but a functioning democratic system does not allow that.
Any power tripping person could overthrow a country for different reasons (like Hitler for example)
Capitalism encourages the break down of the democratic system.
Where communism never had any democracy to start with.
Thats because the US toppled every Democratic attempt at communism and socialism with staged coups and assassinations.
And why’s that folks? That’s right! The profit motive!
Yes, the US is clearly to blame for the Stasi.
Unbridled capitalism.
No, just capitalism is correct. Unbridled or not, the profit incentive and private ownership over the means of production, both of which are intrinsic to a capitalist economic structure, still exist and contribute to systemic oppression.
Don’t blame it on just one person. He has many
friendsaccomplices.Republicans/big business have been trying to install a fascist regime since 1933 when Smedley Butler shut the coup down down.
*since at latest 1933
How cute, OP thinks the US has been a democracy for the last 250 years.
Democracy must be fragile af if this is all it takes to topple it
Using first-past-the-post and giving a president too much power is fragile, yes.
Proportional election and a president with much less power is far safer. Some stuff takes a while to become a law, but at least it’ll be an actual agreement instead of an order.
Democracy resisted for quite some time despite glaring problems.
See the Business Plot of 1933 that was undermined by a Medal of Honor-recipient and Major General, Smedley Butler whom they tried to recruit for the coup.
They have been eroding education and disenfranchising voters for decades. He loves the poorly educated, you know?
Most good things are fragile. And with most things it just takes a few assholes to ruin it.
Democracy
Looks inside
Constitution written exclusively to protect monopoly business interests and prevent a monarchy
seems legit lol
Yeah I’m sure that giving rights to everyone (amendments are part of the Constitution!) was purely for business interests …
Amerikkka never had real democracy
USA is a kakistocracy of the oligarchs
Change my mind
Kekistocracy
Thats a new word for me! What’s it mean?
democracy
Looks inside
oligarchy
And completely broken and idiotic and easily manipulated voting system.
People who believe in 250 years of democracy enable systemic racism, patriarchy, etc.
Libs, please grow up.
It was deeply flawed but it was a democracy nevertheless. It’s now a full authoritarian regime and you’ll get to realize what you’ve lost soon enough.
Nothing I wasn’t already losing through the systemic oppression that is the capitalist system and a hierarchical State that exists to maintains it.
What? I’m gonna be poor and marginalized under a different system? Okay. Changes nothing for me. I’m still poor and struggling to maintain housing and eat a proper meal every day.
The only people losing anything are the middle class who still think that the system isn’t already exploiting them and fail to understand that what is happening is the inevitable conclusion to the society we built.
This is so god damn egocentric, I hope you’re not more than 14. Tell me you’re a privilege ass without telling me you’re a privilege ass.
You will loose nothing? Good for you because:
- Trans people lost the right to exist.
- Indigenous people have been made invisible again
- Immigrants are deported into camps
- Women lost control over their own bodies
- Minorities lost their rights
- Groenland lost it’s security
- Canada has it independence theaten.
- The pollution level will rise 10x faster all over the world.
- 1000x more examples like this
That’s not even 1 month in. You want to play the victim, just wait to see when you’ll become one for real.
Yes capitalism is cruel and unfair system. But the US just blew up any chance they had to ever replace it by something better or simply to make it a little less unfair. Your country will be rule by fascist dictators for decades because of childish, selfish little people like you who are incapable of intellectual nuance.
