The US was not designed as a democracy and has never been one. Just look at its constitution. Voting has never changed much of anything, and if the “wrong” people are elected they are neutralized or assassinated. The US is and has always been an oligarchy composed of white male businessmen. Wake up.

The Apprentice Trump 2.0 unleashed. Giving American plutocratic-oligarchy a bad name. No guile, no artifice, just hubris, thin skinned narcissism on stilts, insatiable greed. Surrounded by hand picked reliable sycophants to reinforce delusional overreach. Corrupting sense of power. A flawed character in very flawed democracy swayed by fellow traveler Netanyahu / Israel to wage illegal unprovoked war on Iran. Iran his/their nemesis. Cornered, and vengeful Trump will lash out in predictable authoritarian ways. What is unpredictable, big question mark, is how much 'victorious' Democrats , historically, Democrat Party grandee vested interests no different to those across aisle, fulfill mandate to change status quo.

It is depressing as well that probably the only reason the results were so bad for the Republican party was the fact that people were having to pay more for petrol and diesel. The whole country is deeply disturbed as they were quite happy with the arrests, the deportations the cruelty, the murdering of citizens in the street by ICE thugs, the wholesale firings of moderate and independent people, the packing of the supreme court with right wing judges (in itself an example of an authoritarian regime) put the price of gasoline up and hey he's got to go! It's quite pathetic actually
