    I feel like we blew past banana republic a while back and are onto deciding whether we’re a nation of laws at all anymore. The idea that the US is a democracy is laughable.

        Oh, we’ll have elections.

        They are just trying to decide how convincing they can get away with making it look like a free and fair election without letting it actually be free and fair.

        Putin for example has decided that 88% support is “close enough” to a free and fair election… for now.

          I believe all elections in the US going forward will be putin style elections, the rethugs will just issue a decree that the supreme leader won again and this time he going 95% of the votes. All hail king turd
