These are all just symptoms. The underlying vulnerability is the median US culture, which permits venality, scamming, skuldugery, shenanigans and crime in its ruling class.
- Herring 1y agoI was reading about Austria recently. It's a nice place, but it turns out they have their far-right Nazis in rural areas too. It's pretty common around the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban%E2%80%93rural_political_divide https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban%E2%80%93rural_political_... I think the world is still figuring out how to deal with this. The German firewall looks quite interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewall_against_the_far-right_in_Germany https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewall_against_the_far-right... Of course things like the electoral college, filibuster, gerrymandering, fptp, lifetime appointments etc don't help.
