Americans, democracy could slip away.
Keep fighting against dark money, shell companies, and the Repubs (and some Dems) that keep corruption in our system.
See also Snyder, Levitsky & Ziblatt, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Anne Applebaum, Arendt, the Evans 3rd Reich trilogy, etc.
Good article but again with somewhat of a "There, there...he can't do that" tenor. Yes, a "headstart," indeed. Hmmm.
@Bix In order to keep fighting, we'd actually have to begin fighting.
And sadly, it is not "some" Democrats, it is _most_ Democrats.
People do not realize what, exactly, corruption looks like, I think.
For starters, if they take money from anything except, or in addition to "grassroots" campaigns, they are corrupt. Some of them who don't might be, but _all_ who take that money are corrupt.
All.
So you're looking at 100% of Republicans, and close to 90% of Democrats in office.
