re: #55 Cheechako

Time we were honest with ourselves….trump is nothing more than a fake president.

Well, not fake per se, as the process of the election as set forth by law and the Constitution regurgitated him.

Unfortunately, the USA has the oldest constitution in the world currently active, and fifty states’ laws all differing in procedures plus a largely-unregulated social media system made it possible to corrupt the election by other actors (both in and outside the country).

The solution would seem to be to run our elections as other nations do (by the national government) and reign in the power of independent corporations to influence elections by taking freakin’ rubles for advertising whilst keeping their data bases secret on everyone’s information.

Since I’m not on social media, I expect eventually to be rounded up by the corporate state as a subversive.
