Like laws and corruption matter if he gets in. It'll be nothing more than a country for sale

Didn't the world go through this same scenario about 1500 years ago with the Roman empire?

At least they lasted more than 250 years

They would have burned out faster if they had the internet and social media 1750 years ago

Well yeah, but we explicitly modeled much of our government after Rome, so it shouldn’t be shocking that we share their problems.

I mean, with lobbying, it’s already a country for sale. In this case it’ll just be more blatant and easily accessible to foreign interests
