it's not a joke,
this is how #Autocracy & #Fascism actually work,
using #Democracy to undermine #Democracy

it happened before and now again

another evidence United States of America has been a #democracy.

@wobweger @georgetakei The US have never been a democracy. Democracy is government by the people for the people. The United States has always been government by the rich and powerful for the rich and powerful. That’s a plutocracy (or oligarchy) - and whenever Republicans have been at the helm in the last decades it has been an outright kakistocracy (government by the worst). #usa #democracy

@dgavin Unless you have something constructive to say, please keep your unhelpful babble to yourself. Literally anyone can throw their hands up in despair and tell everyone else that it's hopeless and to give up, no matter how eloquently.

Congratulations on knowing a lot of big words and (more or less) what they (most commonly) mean.

@wesdym Please stfu, it‘s not my fault you can‘t cope with the reality of the worlds biggest shithole country.
