    In a democratic society, with civil equality and rule of law, this man would’ve been removed from office and prosecuted for fraud.

    Yet for some reason, people still cling to the idea that the US is somehow a democracy and that they can vote Trump out if only people came to their senses.

    No people, you can’t.

    The Republican party has been chipping away at the foundations of US democracy ever since the Reagan administration. Trump just gave the system a final boot to send it tumbling off the cliff. The system -the media, the electoral system, political institutions, the corporate sector- all are rigged in favor of Trump and the GOP.

      This is the textbook definition of fascism. Corporate and government colusion, minority rule, religious favoritism, racism. Its going to be quite difficult to pull these weeds from the garden, but it must be done.

        The garden is the weeds. If you pulled them all nothing would be left.
