    It’s the maga cult that forced this on us.

    Does it not feel like ‘checks and balances’ doesn’t actually work, and hasn’t been working?

    I feel like the billionaire class, controlling through propaganda, a large loud minority of unintelligent, low educated bigots, resulting in what we’re seeing. Essentially the destruction of what was an amazing country.

    The imbeciles who voted for this are too stupid to understand the consequences. The bigots and racists are just voting their bigotry.

    We need better checks and balances. I don’t know what that is though.

      It is extraordinarily difficult (impossible?) to design fair checks and balances that can keep >50% of the population’s choices from being implemented. The only solution is to make sure that the population is resistant to manipulation.

      I feel it’s like the Internet, people aren’t using it for what it was really designed for. The Internet was never created for security, was intended for sharing knowledge.

      People have managed to use The Government in a way it was not intended lol

        But haven’t you heard that “the purpose of of the system is what it does”? Surely nothing could ever be used for a purpose that was not its original intention! /s
