US GOP/oligarchs/bribable leaders/MAGA cult are done with democracy. [View all]

Democracy no longer serves their need for unlimited power and wealth.

The GOP cannot win by legal means, democracy gets in their way. The GOP ideas are not popular. Most American voters do not want to live under white male christian minority rule, a dark handmaiden tale of dystopia.

The voters want billionaires to pay their fair share and have some regulation to protect the average person from their greed.

Other politicians and leaders are only too happy to take bribes from the rich, all they have to do is pass laws for their benefactors.

Most voters do not like outright in our face greed and corruption.

So the GOP and the rich have decided democracy is over in the US. Install fascism and they too can have what Putin and Xi have in their countries. Total permanent power and access to all US financial assets.

And the MAGA cult is fine with all of this. Democracy means giving certain groups equal rights which they cannot tolerate.

We can see they will use whatever means necessary to damage a US president who is clearly on the side of the American people and supports democracies around the world.
