"Donald Trump was returned to power by the most badly informed electorate in modern American history."

[Farmer-Rick]

64. In other words

Capitalism trumps democracy (pun intended)

The money interest bought out and monopolized our media. Substituting propaganda for news but still claiming it as news. Russia, Saudi and other anti democratic countries (our real enemies) helped turn our media into a vast cess pool. Because ignorance and stupidity will destroy a democracy. And it has worked.

To counter it, there needs to be a defining system to determine what is really news. Then make a steep fine to use the word "news" to label your media if it doesn't meet that criteria.

Or

Just get rid of capitalism by encouraging co-ops and worker owned businesses. Form worker's political parties, they don't have to be unions. Break up the media and other monopolies, put religion back as the Constitution says. in its place...... preferably hidden under a rock. Don't allow your judges to be bribed. And get rid of the filibuster.

Move more towards socialism and less to fascism.

We are now fascist because capitalism prefers it.
