What did anyone expect?
Donald Dork had a debt to pay-back to those who financed his "regime*", which is what he did by cutting upper-income taxation AND increasing the DoD-budget (for his buddies-in-business)!
This has been going on for at least two-centuries. You'd think Uncle Sam has had enough! But, no, he's still at it for as long as Americans are duped into electing this "class of Replicants**" into power.
In fact, what happens that is we-the-sheeple do not vote vote for the opposition Dems.
Far more so is that the reason for winning elections than actually voting for Dem-candidates! What we do is stay away from the polls, and
that (along with gerrymandering of election districts) is how the Replicants maintain legislative power to get their own way!
(We Yanks have some of the
lowest voter-turnout elections of any "democracy"!)
You ARE living in a democracy! But what's the sense of even having a voting-democracy is we all sit home spectating elections. In some countries anyone Not-Voting incurs a fine.
Damn-good-idea for the USofA!
And Much Better than pissing&moaning in a blog about how UNFAIR is our democracy ... !
*A country that has all three political representational-powers in the hands of one person OR one-party is an effective
dictatorship led by that one-person or one-party
**I firmly believe in a two-party system. But one in which neither "money" nor "redistricting" (
gerrymander) are employed to control voting outcomes specific to the objectives of only one-of-two political parties. (And that includes the misnomer "Electoral College" of which we should neuter since we cannot rid ourselves of it.
The EC could be obliged by law to report ONLY the results of the popular-vote for the presidential election in each state. (And it should be!)
