A majority of Americans say President Trump is a “dangerous dictator” who poses a threat to democracy and believe he’s overstepped his authority by actions such as the mass firing of federal employees, a new survey says.
The wide-ranging poll released Tuesday, on Trump’s 100th day in office, is the latest sign of him losing support for his immigration and economic policies — the two issues that largely fueled his election.
He has torn apart in 100 days a country that took almost 250 years to build.
All this talk of the Roman Empire and all has been because they intend to hand over all authority to Trump. Just like the Roman Senate did for Caesar.
Clearly the system has major flaws that got us here, such as not enabling the judicial branch to enforce laws, first past the post voting leading to a two party system, non-mathematical districting enabling gerrymandering, etc.
The biggest one though, is forming the country around capitalism, which enables people who seek power to obtain it via exploiting people for profit. The now-powerful then use their power to buy the government so that they could be allowed to exploit people further for more short term financial gain.
If the workers owned the businesses they worked for and if we had a hard wealth cap of $50m by taxing everything over that at 100%, no single person would be able to obtain that kind of power/influence to begin with.
It’s quite the achievement of malice and desperation.
I hate the orange shitgibbon. I absolutely detest that moving sack of human effluence, but you’ve got to give him credit where it’s due. 250 years of diplomacy down the shitter in less than 100 days.
I can only hope that history will treat him the way he deserves to be treated and that his sycophants get the same.
