    The US is not a democracy, but 77 million people voted for him. You can’t ignore that.

    There are, in fact, millions of people who worship billionaires and I don’t know how you think you can deny this. Just yesterday during Thanksgiving I had to listen to my sister’s mother-in-law defend this man, she isn’t a chatbot and she isn’t being boosted by an algorithm. The US is full of temporarily embarrassed billionaires that want to be just like Musk or Trump.

      It’s about 30% of people. That’s too high, but not high enough to win an election in a democracy

        But, high enough to rule the country. Especially when they’re also the ones with all the money.

        Liberal democracy can never overcome them. You need something more revolutionary to overthrow the system they’ve rigged.
