An all-powerful uniparty can do things like this:
- deport or jail you without due process
- ignore the law in service of its own ends
- punish its enemies, pardon its allies
- ignore the constitution
- install loyalists in centers of power, oust dissenters
- suppress media which challenges its hold on power
- commit crimes
- enrich its friends
- declare its "plenary authority" to do the above
Brother, you are looking for the deep state under every rock and it is out in the sunshine, smiling at you.

- piva00 9mo ago"No, you" is a bit of a lazy cop out. I ask this kindly: you don't really see a markedly increase in corruption across your government the past year? Not saying it wasn't corrupt and it became now, just that it increased in level and degree.

- macintux 9mo agoName it. Name the corruption that you think has been cleaned up.

- macintux 9mo agoYou’re talking about Trump who is publicly demanding certain people be prosecuted, so point 1 is wildly invalid. Point 2 is highly debatable, and the mass cruelty of the current administration is considered by many to be worse than what it’s replacing. It’s certainly a stretch to call that corruption. Point 3: again, with Trump you’re talking about a 79 year old man who can’t stay awake through a recorded meeting. Point 4: there’s nothing, nothing in 21st or 20th century U.S. presidential politics compared to the vast sums of money being directed into Trump’s family pockets.
- m4rtink 9mo agoYeah, just look at Hungary or Slovakia how that can happen.
