We peacefully transitioned into a technocracy with a wanna-be dictator idiot at the helm.
As an exercise for anyone reading this who doesn't already know: How did Hitler got into a position of power? Look that up, don't use AI, actually check up on that yourself.
Just a dictionary thing, Technocracy != tech bro president:
When you call someone a technocrat, it means they're more interested in research and quality than political debate
The US has purportedly been a technocracy for a few decades now. The second election of Trump will likely mark the end of the technocracy and the official start of something worse....kakistocracy, full bowl oligarchy, kleptocracy, pick whatever adjective you want.
The administrative state -- the exact thing Elon and his doge goons are targeting -- is the home of the technocrats.
Wait a minute, so democracy brings people like Trump, Hitler and Hamas to power? Does it mean that democracy is shit?
How about single party socialism? Has that ever turned back into stateless communism, comrade? Or did it turn into "socialism with Chinese characteristics", Putin's Russia, Pol Pot, and the DPRK that Trump wants to turn the US into?
Technically the Nazis lost that election, but the Conservatives who won turned around and handed power to Hitler, all to prevent the Left from gaining power.
Alien school: For todays class we will begin Earth history, please open your text book titled "Earth: All to Prevent the Left From Gaining Power." This book covers the vast majority of Earth history.
