I'm not, USA politics is pure corruption wrapped up nice with a bow. It's a joke and that's been extremely apparent since 2016
Bush pretty much set the stage for all this shit with his stolen election, fear mongering, illegal wars....
We thought Obama could fix us, but we underestimated the amount of racism in this country.
So the rednecks lashed out at seeing a black, kind, educated, honest, funny man in power, so they decided to elect the exact opposite of him.
That bastard made Obamacare....it's bullshit. Now I'm going to saddle on over here and get me some nice democratic AMA care.
A lot of those people would never get Obamacare, they graciously support the Affordable Care Act 🙄
The USA was as inch away from becoming a dictatorship. You're lucky to just have pure corruption.
We're still just an inch away. The fascists haven't stopped at all.

2016? Let me tell you about a little supreme court decision from 2000 called Bush v. Gore.
Not surprised either, corruption is inherent ni politics. I am living in a country were the power of an ex-dictator's clan were put back to power as his son back as president of our republic after successful non-violent revolution not more than 40 years ago.
Phillipines?
Very likely. He has a Tagalog username.
The amount of stuff we learned through Trump is just a formality is rather stunning.
It used to be that there was an unspoken risk that ignoring all these norms would result in your being summarily tossed on your ass in the next election. But thanks to Murdoch, Limbaugh, Stone, Gingrich, and all the right wing media pushing hyper-partisan, no-compromise, the-other-guy-eats-babies politics, combined with a court system that refused to rein in the lies that were poisoning our discourse for decades, eroded that critical check on political society.
All of civilization is just formality.
True, but I mean, at a certain point pretending that laws matter is what separates a society at peace from a society at civil war.
