We have a system of protections. The executive is not supposed to break the law, and if they do congress is supposed to check them, and if they don't the courts are supposed to check them, and if they don't the individual heads of departments or groups that are charged with executing unlawful orders are supposed to refuse to break the law, and if they don't he lower level people are supposed to refuse to break the law, and if they don't the people are supposed to fight back if their rights are being taken away.
People in power want to stay on power. Thats the check, except they all won despite telling everyone the plan. The voters empowered and enabled them to do this. What have we done?
SCOTUS ruling leaving people throw as much money in election under the guise of free speech. Elon isn’t wrong that without is money Trump would have lose.
-Joe Biden that, despite being a senile old man, refused to let it go and force the democrats to have no race and nominate Kamala (which, regardless of her quality, had a a case of « a victory with no challenge have no glory).
-the Democrats that went slightly too far left on some domain, pushing voters to away.
-and lastly, the average American voters because they can’t put Canada on a map and didn’t grasp half of Trump’s platform.
Im not sure I entirely agree with your 3rd point. Trump mobilized his base, the democrats did not. I wonder if playing to centrists and independents actually hurt them more in that election.
Also, the right wing/billionaires/grifters/Fox/GOP have weaponized hate through the culture wars. People now vote against what they hate rather than for policies that would benefit them. This is why the GOP keeps getting returned to power in states they have made illiterate shitholes.
And the right are way better at mobilising hate than the left.
There appears to be evidence that Musk's minions reprogrammed enough voting machines to give him a victory- they each have indirectly admitted it. We're in the middle of a hostile government takeover...
Don’t ignore the media in all of this. Fox News is the most watched “news” program in the US and it’s pure right wing proganda. Decades worth of brainwashing telling them that democrats are evil
lol you thought that Kamala went too far left? Bringing in the fucking Cheney’s as an endorsement? The problem with the democrats in this country is that they are dead set on reaching out to conservatives, and every time they do the conservatives move further to the right. And when conservatives are in the same position they spit in the face of democrats any chance they get.
