    USA was never a functioning democracy, but at least as much a plutocracy all along.
    What USA is headed for is fascism.

      Christofascism to be specific. It’s been subject to the Black Pope (the Jesuit Superior General) since 1798, but subject to the whims of the Pope (the White Pope) from 1776-1798.

    We’re certainly on track to full blown fascism, meeting the 14 indicators with flying colors.

    Although any discussion about this fact isn’t complete with some lead brained troglodytes running in and saying "WELL AKTUALLY, FASCISM IS ONLY WHUT MUSSOLINI DEFINED IT AS. IF IT ISNT EXACTLY WHAT HE DEFINED IT AS, ITS NOT FASCISM!"

      If it isn’t fascism as Mussolini defined it, it’s just sparkling oppression!

        Its one of many dumbfuck lines fascists use to destroy language that accurately describes them.

        I’ve seen it particularly commonly used by Zionists defending Netanyahu and Trump

    Democracy only exists when the governors are scared of the governed.

    We’ve been heading there ever since they put a cap in the number of Congress people. I’d say we’re well past heading though.
