    People who still believe in “the elites” being a problem is a moron, because they can’t see that the issues are systemic and that since we have a hierarchical system we can only accept that theres a certain amount of corruption as discrepancies.

    Taking down anyone whose anyone that can challenge your power is not a discrepancy. That’s a full blown red flag that we would have some Africans who suffered through greedy fuelled conflicts shaking their heads.

    It’s not that “if you cut off a head a new one grows in it’s place”, it’s a literal power vacuum that someone else has to occupy and when you then put your own yes-men into those roles, a’la what Project 25 specifies, then you’ve got yourself a potential Putin situation. You can take it one further by executing them one by one like Saddam did.

    In any case, Trump really is the endurance test to see if a despot can take over and destroy US democracy.
