@Nonilex This is #authoritarianism — specifically resembling a #plutocratic strongman style, where personal whim replaces institutional process and economic power is wielded as a weapon against perceived slights.
#Trump is a problem. And it needs fixing and quickly.
#Trump is an anti-#homeless, anti-#poor, #antisemetic, gerontocratic, #homophobic, #islamophobic, #plutocratic, pro-#genocide, #racist, #sexist, #transphobic, #warmongering #bigot who wouldn't be president except for closed #voting locations and rolled back absentee and #earlyvoting that caused the highest #American turnout ever in 2020.
The capitulation by #corporations, #mainstreammedia and the #wealthy has me more #woke (the real term about #injustice not made up #MAGA junk) than ever.
Americans Didn’t Vote for What Donald Trump Is About to Give Them
For 40 years, Republicans have mixed populist rhetoric with #plutocratic policies. Maybe this time, Americans will finally get wise to the #con

"I don’t think any Democrat could’ve won this election. Maybe, if there were a #BernieSanders-like outsider figure, different enough from Joe Biden and Harris to not seem like a continuation of them, and possessed of Trump-like abilities to tune into the grievances and alienation of working-class people, that person could have won. (Biden himself, before his cognitive decline, had those qualities; he was known as Scranton Joe, after all.) But even then, that candidate would have to buck a global trend. I doubt anyone could do that."

@selzero 'Voting with your wallet' means one dollar/pound/euro/yen/denarius = one vote.
It's about as blatantly #plutocratic as you can be.
Postscript
I said earlier that the information landscape has changed. At one level, it has. At another very important level, this change has primarily been in the experience of many of us in (so-called) western liberal democracies, who previously enjoyed the #privilege of feeling less routinely lied. Citizens of the majority world have for decades/lifetimes experienced a similar pattern of shamelessly manipulative falsehoods and consequence-free empty promises from leaders in the #ImperialCore.
Once citizens in these colonising and settler-colonial wealthy nations realise that, then the potential for genuine #solidarity across national, colonial and generational boundaries begins to open. And that solidarity represents the only genuine threat to the #plutocratic divide-and-conquer agenda that is as old as time and which is currently hurtling us collectively towards an uninhabitable Earth.
Solidarity or hell-on-Earth: these are only two paths currently available. Indeed, given the enormous success of this #InformationWarfare over recent decades, this is reduced to one choice: solidarity amidst our unfolding hell-on-Earth or collapse, mass death and the extinction of the last shreds of human dignity, kindness and joy. Let us each choose wisely.

"No Labels" is a #plutocratic funded group that will attempt to put a #spoiler third-party candidate on the ballot to get the treasonous criminal back in office.

On the other hand, there is a more sinister and more worrying reason than failed #German integration policy for migrant workers of the #Wirtschaftswunder era and their progeny:
