Reposted by Marcia SmilackDr. Dave @drdave1999.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I’ve been making this point for years. The U.S. system of checks-&-balances worked until it was doomed by two issues the Founding Fathers never foresaw: • That one political party could be entirely— 100%— corrupt. • That the electorate could be filled completely with utter imbeciles. 42411

He complied, two days later. The system worked because the GOP wasn’t entirely corrupt. That could never happen today. 3224
