They exported so much democracy that they have not any left
Yeah, that’s what happened. 😆
While at the same time backing every single right wing dictatorship that wanted American money
Wired takes a sober but meaningful look at what’s happening from the context of 20th century history. I learned some new terminology there, “electoral autocracy” which is what they’re calling most modern dictatorships that continue having mock but ineffectual elections.
Definitely gonna check that out when I get a chance. “Electoral autocracy…” First time for me, too. Thanks!
Not surprising we need to completely clean house
I think I believe we should have a parliamentary system. This two-party shit is a sham. I haven’t researched it enough to say I definitely think that’s the way to go, but it’s on my mind recently.
The cleaning thats getting done is in favor of autocracy.
How can you lose something you never had?
Would you care to explain?
You didn’t have much democratic control, but you had more of it before the Trump mob came in to destroy it entirely.
