Doctor MemoryBrilliant system we've got here. A racist game show host flukes his way into the presidency by losing the popular vote by three million and so he gets to install three Supreme Court justices and they get to un-do the last 50 years of legislation and jurisprudence. Wow, such popular mandate, very democracy.
Okay, 24 hours after this post started doing numbers and I have to say, fediverse, I’m happily surprised. I did get one deranged fucknut going on about “communism” but so far at least none of you have felt the urge to demonstrate your mastery of elementary-school civics lessons by portentously informing me that the US is “a republic, not a democracy.” (Inevitably with a marble bust avatar.) Gold stars all around, please keep up the good work.
