.... to fatten up their coffers for themselves and their stockholders. They had and continue to have a fuck Democracy attitude. Where Fascism is so much more appealing and profitable because it is lacking in morals or ethics and can get things done quickly at the speed of light - with a bit of pomp and panache. Which is wonderful for the next news cycle. It keeps the audience tuned in, engaged and enthralled, breathlessly positioned on the edge of their seats - in wild anticipation of the next bomb exploding on their TV screens and causing some more destruction they can feast their eyes upon.

Our culture and our society is fucked up beyond reason. Most resent political cycles are clearly indicative of how sick our society is. The scariest and most dangerous thing of all is we intend to export this brand of Fascist hyper-capitalism near and far and around the globe. The next chapter in the book to be written,... "How AmeriKKKana Fucked Up Global Humanity - That Led to the Final Destruction of Hunankind".

What a shameful footprint,... what an embarrassing legacy we will inevitably leave behind if we persist in this direction. The clock is ticking loudly - to right this ship before it slams into the shoals - becoming a heaping pile of splintered toothpicks. With djt at the helm of this ship we can only get there faster. In the theater of the politically absurd the only thing djt has to offer us is the coming of our inevitable demise - while traveling in that direction at 1,000X the speed of light. What a head spinning nauseating journey it has been and continues to be.
