Trump & cabinet are a kind of natural end to a corrupted democratic system that had no regulation over money. In fact, money had regulation over the democratic system––& they’re powerless to stop its assault. A strong democratic system would have punished the corrupt billionaire 100x over already.

Whenever the Greens announce a policy, people are always like “but have they thought about…?”or “have they considered…?” No, they have not thought, they have not considered, and they won’t be doing so. The political incentives being what they are, they have no need. It’s slopulism all the way down.

Ireland (#1) has the highest percentage at 69.3%, while Greece (#27) has the lowest at 37.9%.
