    And all we need is for ChatGPT to tell all the idiots to vote blue in the midterms to get this country back on course.

      Techbros are in the fascist camp though. That said, even if it were the other way round, if that works, democracy is lost anyway, no matter which side wins.

        Democracy died when Nixon escaped justice.

        The death rattle started in 1877 and the country never recovered.

        It was born sickly anyway.

          I see it more as a gradual process. There were a lot of milestone of the democratic foundation of the US breaking away and then there are some foundations of democracy that never existed in the US to begin with. There are too many to mention but allowing companies to buy elections legally is one of them, the rise of the executive branch in power is another and more recently when the Supreme Court started to back up autocratic developments because of partisan reasons is another.
