    his popularity is not relevant. it’s not a voted position. this is all blah blah blah.

    if I were president and appointed the meanest christian idiot I could find, why would I care if the population calls him an idiot christian?

      It’s not relevant until it is. Self described democracies that are unable to respond to popular sentiment get unstable.

        I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s ok. it’s not your fault. it’s ok to stop pretending. America is no longer what people would refer to as a democracy. it’s a corporatist oligarchy and has been for several years.

        foxnews and media empires owned by a few individuals impose their will on the masses, not the masses expressing their desires, and definitely “of the people and for the people”

        it’s over. the faster we realize this, the faster we can form a more perfect union.
