so ......
what if the president IS the head of a crime syndicate?

THEN WHAT?!?!?!

@MsMerope "Right" thinking people in Congress would #impeach him & he would be arrested, convicted & imprisoned but there aren't many "right" thinking people in the country, let alone the Congress, these days. 🤷‍♂️

That's the weakness of #democracy. It's subject to the rule of the majority & if the majority are #fascists then fascism is what you're going to get. 🤦‍♂️

Have you ever read #DeTocqueville's #DemocracyInAmerica?

He identified this weakness in in this book almost 200 years ago!!!! 🙄

It's called the #TyrannyOfTheMajority!!!! It's all good when the majority are righteous & act in the benefit of all but the risk is that a tyrannical majority will come to power who does not have the best interests of the country & the people at large at heart, which seems like the situation we're in now. 🤷‍♂️

@MsMerope "if" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

@MsMerope Well, so far the only viable solution seems to be a blind superhero wracked with Catholic guilt. Unfortunately those don’t actually exist…
