The whole “democracy” thing is little more than a show, if you ask me.

American Democracy has a lot of angles to it. If money was the only object, Jeb Bush would be in his third term.

Let's see. Maybe there will soon be the first president in modern US History to serve three terms—if he lives that long. With ICE—which, given its strict adherence to party line and its exorbitant budget, equivalent to the military spending of a medium-sized country, seems to me to be nothing more than a secret police force—this regime certainly has the means to do so, I'd say.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that things will eventually start looking up again for U.S. citizens! However, I fear that if things continue as they have been, the downward spiral will unfortunately continue—at least for the people.
