Brian L, What is gobsmackingly insane to me is that the US public is complacent enough to accept a rogues gallery of oligarchs getting ready to rule over them!
Yeah… it took a significant degree of social engineering to pull off, but they’re well on their way of unraveling every democratic thread that still runs through the culture. They want us like all these other cultures that are groomed from birth to accept class systems and hierarchy. Horizontal power structures are anathema to them.
A fair observation. More than fair, really. But for demonstrative purposes, we have cultures like Japan which have deep hierarchal structures imbedded in their cultural zeitgeist. In the other end of the spectrum, most of Western Europe (and specifically Scandinavia) have recently enjoyed far greater civili and economic freedom. I’m defining economic freedom here as wealth equality and purchasing power as opposed to the more common absence of regulations.
Because they fantasize that one day they will be like them, even when the odds of that are low. They bootlick because they want to curry favor just like white women choose racism every time to curry favor with the men in their lives.

They voted them into power!! Good luck getting them out again .....
Inasmuch as voting is a real thing in an oligarchy…
If Trump accepts an election. The constitution will not be a problem for him.
Hasn’t been much of a problem for any of them up until this point anyways. It’s largely just a talking point more than any real legal document.
Right. There is little power to enforce it. All manner of legal obstacles. It is sometimes possible though.
