re: #45 Eclectic Cyborg

And the fucking useless Republicans in congress are going to let it all come crashing down while sitting on their hands and blaming someone else.

50% of Republican voters would be happy if Trump postponed the next elections. I would bet that well over 50% would be happy if the US had sham elections every few years, like Russia. Give it a few more years of FOX and Youtube and a clear majority of white Americans will be in favour of a return to monarchy, with the Trumps as the royal family. If you asked that question of Southern evangelicals now, I have no doubt 70% would enthusiastically say yes.

Congressional Republicans and Republican voters are not merely oblivious, or bribed to look the other way, or trying to salvage what they can while it burns down. In their millions, they want to live in an authoritarian system that enshrines their privilege, keeps minorities and women in their place, and allows the state to use force against neighbours they don’t like. Revealing the truth of what this regime is doing won’t change their mind, or open their eyes. They know the truth already. And they love it.
