    He’s a bully with an innate bullshitting capacity you can’t really learn that also requires the inability to feel shame, but please don’t give him the credit of being some machiavellian mastermind.

    That was McConnell, before the marbles fell out.

      Mastermind? That’s an imbecile plot that only a Republican could conceive. Bolsonaro did it in Brazil too. Pretty sure it’s the same branch of Kremlin handling both.

    This is maybe why democracy in its current state is flawed.

    When pandering to the masses will allow you to get them to vote against their best interests. Perhaps people need to pass some sort of simple test before being able to vote and maybe rules in place against convicted felons running for office of any kind…

      Pretty sure this is the exact reason plato (iirc) described democracy as the second worst possible system of government, next to autocracy. Giving everyone a say in politics is fair, but conveniently ignores that most people are simply too dumb, ignorant, lazy and uninterested in political matters to be able to exercise that power responsibly.
