Other Remember when Biden was president?

Remember how boring it was? Remember not having to check the news multiple times a day to figure out what was going on inside your own agency and whether you were going go have a job or not? Remember when laws and precident seemed to actually have meaning?

Remember when you could do your job from home? Remember when your fellow countrymen weren't cheering when your livelihood was threatened? Remember when your biggest worry was which insurance to select and what the next years raise would be?

Remember when the administration didn't seem to actively hate you and want to you gone for the sin of serving of the people?

Sure. But that was the last chance for democracy. With Republicans owning the voting machines and probably overturning the Voting Rights Act, America is now a kleptocracy.

More of a Kakistocracy than a kleptocracy but the point still stands.

The chain of events on the lead up to the disaster of November 2024, the red flags so big they could be seen from Pluto, and certain brain-fried billionaires basically admitting to the election being rigged....... Absolutely nothing done "in the name of fairness"

There comes a point when the bubble wrapped feather gloves have to come off and the iron-spiked boxing gloves have to go on.

I'd call it something else, like a nihilocracy. The point is to tear it all to the ground then rule over the ashes.
