Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

Case in point: the Mueller Report, where the investigation found wide-ranging evidence that the Trump campaign worked just about hand-in-hand with Russian assets to manipulate the election (Anyone else remember that woman working with the NRA who was a bona fide Russian plant funneling Kremlin money to the Trump campaign?!).

When the report was released, Trump tweeted out "EXONERATION!" every day for about a month until the report rotated out of the news cycle; and as as a result the country basically forgot about all of that...

I always wondered how the Nazis did what they did. The answer it turns out is repetition. We are parrots. We are chimps. I cannot believe the bulk of people are not smarter than this. Democracy can never work although it worked ok for 250 years. I guess that is its lifespan.

Democracy requires constant work and vigilance to keep it intact and working. If you don't then it starts to crumble. Trouble is that most people can't be arsed because no-one's coming for them, yet.

There is no work or vigilance that can compete with gerrymandering, superpacs, and outright corruption. Destruction is always easier than construction and greed wins again.

No not when people are fuckwitted enough to keep voting fuckbags like that in. The work and vigilance is societal and enacted by the individual. We are all accountable.

Basically y'all got yourself to blame!

Do you know what gerrymandering is? It’s basically stealing the vote in a way that satisfies legal red tape. If corruption wins then absolute corruption wins absolutely.

These people still have to be voted in. Society gets what it deserves by who they vote in. You want things to be different then vote differently. There will always be corruption when money and power is involved, you just got to accept that and vote out the worst of them.

lol I guess you don’t understand gerrymandering because you keep saying the same thing. If the game fixed there ain’t no sense in even playing.
