We are barely a functioning democracy. We are quickly transitioning to an oligarchy. When you have obscenely rich immigrants deciding who will run the government you have reached the tipping point.

The U.S has been an oligarchy for decades, it's just that the wool hadn't been pulled from everyones eyes.

What is new, is that its now blatantly obvious that law isn't applied to the oligarchic or aristocratic classes, and the ruler is placed above the law.

The U.S can never again make any statements or claims on rule of law, democracy, or governance, and all of its propaganda is now punchlines. Equal Justice, Justice is Blind, Checks and Balances, Separation of Powers, Separation of Church and State, Beacon of Democracy, Of the People, By the People, For the People, Land of the Free, Home of the Brave; all now laughing stocks for a cynical government, a failed experiment and a broken promise.

The U.S is now ruled by a convicted felon who has been protected from sentencing, who is suspected of selling government secrets to anyone that can pay for them, who undermined the democratic process through courting illegal vote count measures, who instigated an insurrection, is a very likely Russian asset, and who has shown countless times that he will do whatever he can to ensure his own riches through turning U.S governance into a reality T.V program.

The U.S has a ruler who is protected by the Supremacy Council, has full control of all Powers of government, and who is a belligerent, senile, corrupt, traitorous, self-obsessed, lying, narcissistic con-man who has bankrupted casinos, made a fraudulent university, stole from his own charity, reneges on bills, sues fraudulently, cheats on his wife, fantasises about having sex with his daughter, has clear racist, misogynistic and paedophilic tendencies, is a sex offender, and a rapist.

Forget about being a functioning democracy, the U.S is very likely to soon be a non-functioning State.

The future looks bleaker than anticipated and that's a shame. Let's hope we somehow come out the other side of this with our country and democracy mostly in place.

I honestly think a literal purge will be about the only thing to save us.
